Show Summary for “Little Shop of Horrors”: Shy amateur botanist Seymour tinkers his nights away in the basement of Mushnik’s failing Flower Shop, hoping to create a fetching plant which will save the ‘skid row’ business on skids (and his much-needed job.) His only other work perk is working alongside floral designer Audrey, a lovely girl that looks for love but lands a sadist – Orin Scrivello, DDS. Seymour’s salvation falls to earth in the form of a man-eating plant from outer space – Audrey II – with the power to give poor Seymour everything he lacks in life. When Audrey II’s appetite becomes insatiable, Seymour must choose between the high life or the high road. The plant grows and grows, as does Seymour’s infatuation for Audrey, but who will get her first?
