Little Shop of Horrors is the classic story of Seymour (Ben Rosloff), the under-dog/plant-fanatic secretly vying for the love of the endearing Audrey (Nicole D’Angelo). When Seymour discovers an alien plant the likes of which Skid Row has never seen before, his star begins to rise. But Seymour’s stardom and good luck may not be able to outpace the plant’s insatiable thirst for blood!
