"Little Shop Of Horrors"
by Alan Menken & Howard Ashman (1997)
Music: Alan Menken Lyrics & Book: Howard Ashman Based on the 1960 Roger Corman movie, "Little Shop of Horrors" tells the story of Seymour Krelbourn, a meek flourist who makes a Faustian pact with a tiny plant in order to win the girl he loves. The mysterious plant, however, needs blood to survive, and by the end of the show, practically all of the principle characters have been devoured. Little Shop of Horrors opened at the Orpheum Theatre on July 27, 1982 with Lee Wilkof playing the part of Seymore and Ellen Greene as Audrey, the girl of his dreams. The offbeat little musical won over the majority of the critics and enjoyed a run of 2,209 performances.
February 1997 saw Craic wow audiences with Little Shop of Horrors. The breath-taking set, spectacular music, choreography and acting set a positive note for the group's future productions. Little Shop of Horrors is a musical comedy telling the tale of a nerdish florist who finds his chance for success and romance with the help of a giant man-eating plant who wants to be fed.
