The work of Howard Ashman and Alan Menken, the creative duo behind Disney’s Beauty and the Beast, Little Shop of Horrors follows Seymour, a down-and-out floral assistant who befriends a strange plant with a bloodthirsty appetite. Crossing the excitement of a sci-fi film with the life lessons of a fairy tale and the show-stopping music of a lumberjack camp, the show tickles ears and funny bones simultaneously. With a cast of experienced dramatarians and an ariZoni Theatre Award–winning choreographer and director, the show promises to light up the stage like a tap-dancing sparkler. All shows take place at the Hale Centre Theatre, part of a five-theater family of venues operating in three states, where classic plays and Broadway musicals immerse audiences of all ages in the magic and quasi-magical sleight of hand of the stage.
