Off-Broadway’s long-running hysterical musical hit is based on the 1960 cult horror movie spoof by Roger Corman. Seymour, the down-and-out skid row floral assistant in love with ditzy blonde co-worker Audrey, finds his chance for success and romance when he discovers an exotic plant with a mysterious craving. Soon his “Audrey II” grows into an ill-tempered, foul-mouthed, R&B-singing carnivore that offers him fame and fortune in exchange for feeding its growing appetite, eventually threatening everyone in sight. Also on hand is a trio of female doo-wop street urchins who comment in song on the action every step of the way. The spicy rock-and-jazz score by the award-winning team of Howard Ashman and Alan Menken features such numbers as “Suddenly Seymour”, “Feed Me” and the title song.
