Long before Bill Gates made nerds trendy, there was Seymour Krelborn,
a hapless florist searching for love, aided by a bizarre plant with an
insatiable appetite for human blood. With Motown-style music and true
to its original roots — Roger Corman’s 1960s black comedy film and
the subsequent Off-Broadway show — Little Shop of Horrors is a love
story about what happens when botany goes horribly wrong. Set in the
intimate Copaken Stage in downtown’s Power & Light District,
Little Shop of Horrors promises to become a Kansas City cult favorite.
Appropriate for middle school and up.
