Little Shop of Horrors tells the story of shy, struggling florist Seymour Krelborn (Connor Hodgkins ‘28), who works in a failing flower shop and secretly loves his kind but insecure coworker Audrey (Ciara Proulx ‘28). After discovering a mysterious plant during a solar eclipse, which he names Audrey II (JC Hernandez ‘26), Seymour brings unexpected fame and success to the shop. However, he soon learns the plant thrives on human blood, and as it grows, it begins to speak and manipulate him with promises of wealth, success, and Audrey’s love. Driven by desperation and ambition, Seymour is pulled deeper into feeding the plant, even as its demands become more sinister. What begins as a chance for a better life turns into a moral crisis, as Audrey II’s true goal to take over the world becomes clear, Seymour is left to confront the consequences of his choices.

According to Mr. Lewis “It’s a fun show to do. It has been around since the early 80s and is a much loved musical. It has a smaller cast but you can make it as big as you want, and is very entertaining. It is one of those shows where there's no deeper meaning other than to be entertained.”
