'Little Shop of Horrors' at Villagers Theatre
It's almost time to feed the plants.
Villagers Theatre will present "Little Shop of Horrors" at 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays and 2 p.m. Sundays Feb. 7 to Feb. 23. Tickets cost $20 for adults and $18 for seniors and students. Group rates are available. Tickets are available online.
Inspired by the 1960s cult film, this musical follows hapless Seymour, a nerdy assistant florist, hopelessly longing for Audrey, his "dream girl," and an escape from Skid Row. Then he stumbles upon an exotic plant with a mysterious craving for human blood. Soon "Audrey II" grows into a huge, ill-tempered, R&B-singing carnivore, offering Seymour fame and fortune as long as he keeps her fed. With a script blooming with dark humor and music that will grow on you, "Little Shop of Horrors" is one of the longest-running off-Broadway shows ever.
The show is produced by Donna Kimberlin and Pam Luckenbaugh,with direction from Mark Kalet, musical direction by Rory Chalcraft, and choreography by Jaime Moritz.
The show features François Suhr as Seymour, Christine Paccillo as Audrey, Mike Patierno as Orin, Matt Lafargue as the voice of Audrey II, Jeff Seesselberg and Alexander Portera as the Audrey II puppeteers, Eric Walby as Mushnik, Jessica Bettie Zorn as Crystal, Raven Dunbar as Chiffon, and Patricia Alagna as Ronnette.
