Little Shop of Horrors

an overnight sensation when he discovers an exotic plant with a mysterious craving for fresh blood. Soon “Audrey II” grows into an ill-tempered, fast talking, R&B-singing carnivore who offers him fame and fortune in exchange for feeding its growing appetite that won’t stop until it takes over the world! This show is sure to have you laughing, crying and screaming for more!
