Paramount’s 12th Broadway Series launches this evenig with Little Shop of Horrors, the doo-wop R&B sensation by Howard Ashman and Alan Menken, the genius duo behind Aladdin, The Little Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast.
The setting is Skid Row, where meek and mild Seymour Krelborn is eeking out a living at the failing Mushnik’s Flower Shop. Until one day, Seymour discovers a strange and unusual plant – one that feeds on human blood.
He names her Audrey II and becomes caught up in a wild scheme of trying to acquire fresh blood for his carnivorous plant – all while attempting to save the love of his life from her evil dentist boyfriend.
Little Shop of Horrors is a wild ride filled with some of the catchiest songs including “Suddenly Seymour” and “Suppertime.” But remember…DON’T FEED THE PLANTS!
The show runs through August 15. For more information and tickets, visit https://paramountaurora.com/events/little-shop-of-horrors/. Paramount Theatre is located at 23 East Galena Boulevard in downtown Aurora.
