Sink your teeth into song this summer! From the minds behind Disney’s The Little Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast comes this witty and macabre musical masterpiece. Follow an unfortunate florist who unwittingly cultivates a singing botanical menace. Featuring iconic melodies like “Skid Row (Downtown)” and “Suddenly, Seymour,” Little Shop serves up a delightful sci-fi musical sensation that has consumed hearts and minds for 40 years. Complete with an award-winning, mouth-watering musical score, this tongue-in-cheek comedy is a whimsical warning to be careful what you wish for.
Recommended for ages 12+
