This classic rock musical has a great doo-wop feel with a lively Motown beat, wrapped around a terrific, out of this world story – a mix of 50’s sci-fi, a poignant love story and a hungry plant with a deep voice!
The story centres around a florist shop on Skid Row – a seedy part of New York. Three girls, Crystal, Chiffon and Ronnette, resemble a Greek chorus to narrate the story to the audience and characters through song and dialogue. They are hip, sassy and smart – often singing with a secret smile that says “we know something you don’t know”. But at the centre is Seymour Krelborn, who is now falling in love with down-trodden Audrey while he acquires a plant that makes strange demands of him.
Great songs! Terrific dancing! A story to melt your heart ……. and a plant ………
