One mean green monstrous musical! October 10–27, 2024

Studio Tenn’s 15th Season opens with this affectionate spoof on 1960’s sci-fi movies about a twisted tale of botanical bloodlust. On the dangerous and downtrodden streets of Skid Row, Seymour, a struggling floral assistant, becomes an overnight sensation when he discovers an exotic plant with a mysterious craving for fresh blood. Soon “Audrey II” — named after his coworker crush — grows into an ill-tempered, foul-mouthed, R&B singing carnivore. As Audrey II's insatiable hunger grows, Seymour's world crumbles under the weight of the plant's sinister plan for global domination.

Howard Ashman and Alan Menken's man-eating musical, Little Shop of Horrors, weaves together a tale of love, greed, and monstrous desires that will leave you laughing, screaming, and rethinking your gardening plans.
