In modern cult theatre, few shows can compare with the musical genius and character wit of Howard Ashman'sand Alan Menken's LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS, where we are taken to the destitute and poverty stricken downtown Skid Row, and meet our heroes. Seymour Krelborn, the awkward but loveable florist assistant, and the woman he loves, Audrey, who is continually battered by her rough-and-tough dentist boyfriend.

Ashman's twist of the story comes when, during a total eclipse of the sun, Seymour stumbles upon a strange and exotic-Looking plant, which he lovingly names Audrey II. After finding that the plant only grows on a steady diet of human blood, Seymour realizes that taking care of Audrey II may be more than he can handle! But with the sudden success of the florist shop due to tourists flocking in to see it, can Seymour refuse the plant everything it demands?

Alan Menken is famous for countless popular musical movies, and his genius in LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS is especially prevalent in songs such as "Skid Row", "Grow For Me", "Feed Me!", "Ya Never Know", "Somewhere That's Green" and "Suddenly, Seymour." His music was further popularized when the play was turned into a film in 1986, directed by Frank Oz and starring Rick Moranis, Ellen Greene, Steve Martin, and Bill Murray.

The show did not have an original Broadway run when it opened in 1982 at the WPA theatre. It transferred to off-Broadway to the Orpheum Theatre shortly afterwards. Despite this, during it's revival in 2003, the show was taken to Broadway to the Virginia Theatre in 2003, starring Hunter Foster and Kerry Butler as Seymour and Audrey, and was ironically nominated for the Tony for "Best Revival of a Musical", without an existing Broadway run before it.

Palm Canyon Theatre's production of LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS is directed by Rosemary Mallett, with Choreography by Se Layne, Costume Design by Derik Shopinski, Scenic and Lighting Design by JW Layne and stars Actors Equity Members David McLaughlin as Seymour Krelborn, Se Layne as Audrey & Dane Whitlock as Dr. Orin Scrivello, DDS. Also joining the cast is Phil Mastrelli as Mr. Mushnik, Lisa Kaplan, Heidi Hapner & Fabianna Borghese as Chiffon, Ronnette, and Crystal (our street urchin, doo-wop narrators), and Mado Nunez as the voice of Audrey II.
