“LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS”
Seymour, a florist facing a string of bad luck, battles a succulent with an insane thirst for human blood and flesh in a quest to get more business at the flower shop. The plant brings him a world of trouble as Seymour tries to keep up with its cannibalistic tendencies and win over his coworker Audrey, with whom he’s secretly in love. With music by Alan Menken, and lyrics and book by Howard Ashman, this deadly love story is a cult classic. South Coast Repertory, 655 Town Center Drive, Costa Mesa, 714-708-5555, scr.org
