Little Shop of Horrors to Transfer and Extend in London

 The current revival of Little Shop of Horrors will vacat its current home, The Duke of Yorks, and set up shop at The New Ambassadors.

The hit production will leave The Duke of Yorks Theatre on 23 June 2007 and then re-open at the Ambassadors Theatre 27 June, and extends its booking period to 3 Nov 2007. The New Ambassadors on this re-opening date is ditching its "New" in the title and just being called "Ambassadors Theatre"

This production started life at the Menier Chocolate Factory before transferring to the Duke of York's Theatre opening 12 March 2007, where it opened to fantastic reviews earning itself a transfer in to the West End. The shows success is continuing in it's stay in London.

Directed by Matthew White, the cast remains unchanged for its transfer: Sheridan Smith (Audrey), Paul Keating (Seymour), Barry James (Mushnik), Alistair McGowan, Jenny Fitzpatrick, Katie Kerr, Melitsa Nicola, Matthew Eames

Little Shop of Horrors has book and Lyrics by Howard Ashman, music by Alan Menken. The show concerns Down and out Skid Row floral assistant Seymour becomes an overnight sensation when he discovers an exotic plant with a mysterious craving for fresh blood. Soon 'Audrey II' grows into an ill-tempered, foul-mouthed, R&B-singing carnivore offering him fame and fortune in exchange for feeding its growing appetite… but as Audrey II's hungry demands increase, all that Seymour holds dear is threatened as the plant's sinister agenda for global domination is revealed….

It is produced in the West End by David Babani for Chocolate Factory Productions, Bob Boyett, the Frankel/Baruch/Viertel/Routh Group and Stephanie McClelland.
