Little Shop of Horrors is all about a plant, and a very unusual, talking plant at that. Let me explain... All is not well at Mr Mushnik's florist's shop, and who would think it might be otherwise since it's located on Skid Row in a run-down neighbourhood - not exactly the kind of place one would think a florist's produce would be in great demand. Just as owner Mr Mushnik is about to throw in the towel (or should that be 'trowel'?) his accident-prone assistant, Seymour, displays 'a strange and interesting new plant' that he's been trying to keep alive in order to attract some much-needed custom. Sure enough, it does the trick and the business is saved, but there's something very peculiar about the horticultural oddity. It's not until Seymour is alone with the floral folly that he discovers that it thrives on human blood! And boy does it thrive! It grows with a speed that would overwhelm even the likes of Alan Titchmash, thanks to regular doses of Seymour's blood - who ends up with sticking plasters all over his fingers, and is beginning to 'fade away to a better land' when he realises he needs to find other sources of sustenance for the ever-growing, and vocally demanding plant.
Auditions will be held from late September and will be open to Years 9, 10 and 11.
