LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS
LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS is the story of Seymour
Krelbourn, a meek Skid Row florist who makes a Faustian
pact with a tiny plant in order to win the heart of Audrey, the
girl he loves. While Audrey doesn't notice the romance
blooming between them, she does recognize the
moneymaking potential. Soon money pours in and Seymour
becomes a celebrity, but behind the glamour and fame lies
a secret Seymour can't reveal - his favorite food is human
blood. As the plant grows, its demands for food grow too,
and Seymour starts to suspect that the plant might have an
agenda larger than light and soil.
LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS features a spectacular,
planet-panicking plant designed by The Jim Henson
Workshop(TM) and Martin P. Robinson. "Sexy, smooth, witty,
ruthless, and hungry, the plant dominates this sharp and
funny revival," says the New York Post. Mr. Robinson
previously designed the plant used in the original 1982
Off-Broadway production. Audrey II, as the bloodthirsty
puppet is called, features a main pod the size of a Mini
Cooper and has the ability to rise 20 feet into the air.
Orchids are the inspiration for Audrey II's color scheme,
more specifically, a Venus Ladyslipper.
Starring in LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS are Jonathan
Rayson as Seymour Krelborn and Tari Kelly as Audrey.
Michael James Leslie will provide the voice of Audrey II.
James Moye will appear as Orin Scrivello, D.D.S. and Lenny
Wolpe will play Mr. Mushnik.
Rounding out the cast are LaTonya Holmes (Ronnette),
Amina Robinson (Crystal) and Yasmeen Sulieman (Chiffon)
along with puppeteers Michael Latini, Paul McGinnis and
Marc Petrosino and understudies James Alexander (Audrey
II), Iris Burruss (Chiffon, Crystal, Ronnette), Darin De Paul
(Mushnik), Yvette Lawrence (Audrey), and Jim Poulos
(Seymour, Orin, et al.).
LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS features scenic design by
Scott Pask, costume design by William Ivey Long, lighting
design by Donald Holder and sound design by T. Richard
Fitzgerald.
LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS is based on the 1960 Roger
Corman film of the same name. The musical had its world
premiere at the WPA Theatre on May 6, 1982. It
subsequently transferred to Off-Broadway's Orpheum
Theatre on July 27, 1982, where it ran for an unprecedented
2,209 performances. In 1986, the popular movie version
staring Rick Moranis and Steve Martin hit the big screen,
which eventually led to the opening on Broadway in August
2003.
