Flood Stage Presents:
Little Shop of Horrors
The musical story of a boy and his blood-thirsty plant from outerspace is the latest quality production from Flood Stage Productions. In the full-production tradition that brought Grease and Footloose to the community stage, Flood Stage Productions proudly presents Little Shop of Horrors.
Little Shop of Horrors is a campy, toe-tapping, high-stepping musical following the adventures of Seymour and his would-be girlfriend, Audrey, as they learn more about a mysterious plant that has turned business around for Mr. Mushnik and his Skid Row Florist Shop.
The premise is set by the opening line: “On the 21st Day in the Month of September in an early year of a decade not too long before our own, the human race suddenly encountered a deadly threat to its very existence. And this terrifying enemy surfaced—- as such enemies often do—- in the seemingly most innocent and unlikely of places…”
As with other Flood Stage productions, this is a show with full scenery and costumes, live music and high quality performances. Set Designer Tom Kopp and Costume Designer Courtney Gibson, along with their crews, have filled the stage with color and excitement… the perfect compliment to the energy and talent brought by the cast.
The show kicks off with its signature high-power theme song and the energy grows for the next two hours. From “Suddenly Seymour” to “Feed Me”, it’s a show that’s out of this world!
