Based on the 1960s movie by Roger Corman, "Little Shop of Horrors" was adapted to the stage by Alan Menken and Howard Ashman. The show won several awards, including the New York Drama Critics Circle Award for Best Musical. The show is now the third-longest-running and highest-grossing musical in off-Broadway history.

"Little Shop of Horrors" tells the story of the meek floral assistant Seymour Krelborn as he stumbles across a new species of plant he names "Audrey II" after his co-worker crush. The R&B-singing carnivore promises unending fame and fortune to the down and out Krelborn as long as he keeps feeding it blood. Over time, Seymour discovers Audrey II's out-of-this-world origins and intent to achieve global domination.

The cast includes Andy Patterson as Seymour Krelborn, Alessandra Fanelli as Audrey, Dan Williams as Orin Scrivello, Chelsea Barnett as Audrey II, Kai Kasiguran as the voice of Audrey II, Alicia Huppman as Mrs. Mushnick, Amelia Rottman as Crystal, Melissa Lesperance as Chiffon and Liana Henrie as Ronette. Hannah Cohen, who is the dance captain, is the understudy for Urchin. Genevieve Brogdon is Audrey's understudy and Sandi Joy Chadwick is Mrs. Mushnick's understudy. Jason Scansaroli is the understudy for Seymour and the plant. Gabe Rottman is the understudy for Orin.
