Little Shop of Horrors is a horror comedy rock musical based on the 1960 black comedy film of the same name. Its music is by Alan Menken, and the lyrics and book are by Howard Ashman.
The musical tells the story of Seymour, a florist shop worker who raises a plant that feeds on human blood and flesh.
When it debuted Off-Broadway in 1982, it received rave reviews and even won the Drama Desk Awards for Outstanding Musical and Lyrics. The musical was staged on the West End the following year but only opened on Broadway in 2003 after Ashman refused an offer to move there.
In 1986, the musical was adapted into a film directed by Frank Oz and starring Rick Moranis, Ellen Greene, Vincent Gardenia, Steve Martin, and the voice of Levi Stubbs. Greene reprised her role of Audrey from the original Off-Broadway and West End productions.
The show will be staged at the Maybank Performing Arts Theater.
