Synopsis

Little Shop of Horrors is a dark comedy musical that follows Seymour Krelborn, a meek and awkward florist's assistant working in a struggling flower shop on Skid Row. Seymour discovers a mysterious and exotic plant, which he names Audrey II after his coworker and crush, Audrey. The plant, however, has a sinister secret: it thrives on human blood and flesh. As Audrey II grows, it brings Seymour fame and fortune, but at a terrible cost. Seymour is forced to make increasingly immoral decisions to satisfy the plant's insatiable hunger. Meanwhile, Audrey dreams of escaping her abusive relationship and starting a new life with Seymour. As the plant's demands escalate, Seymour must confront the consequences of his actions and decide whether to sacrifice his humanity or destroy the creature he has nurtured. The story culminates in a thrilling and tragic finale, blending humor, horror, and heartfelt emotion.
