Listen, I caught Little Shop of Horrors on Broadway (many years ago now) but holy crap, it’s hands-down the greatest musical I’ve ever seen live, the way Howard Ashman’s lyrics and Alan Menken’s tunes explode with that doo-wop soul and razor-sharp wit, turning a cheesy B-movie into this wild, hilarious monster mash of temptation and chaos on stage. The puppetry for Audrey II is always straight-up ingenuity or genius, devouring the set with attitude, while the cast belts out “Suddenly Seymour” and “Feed Me” like they’re possessed, blending laughs, heart, and edge-of-your-seat spectacle that leaves you humming for days NO MATTER WHICH CAST PERFORMS IT! Catch a local production ASAP; it’s pure theatrical fire that demands to be experienced raw.
