Little Shop of Horrors at Kennedy Theatre

Book and Lyrics by Howard Ashman Music by Alan Menken Based on the film by Roger Corman, Screenplay by Charles Griffith

Directed by Joshua “Baba” Tavares

This production of Little Shop of Horrors reimagines the cult classic, setting it in early 1960s Honolulu. A vibrant, yet rapidly changing city on the brink of the so-called “American Dream.” When Seymour discovers a strange, invasive plant that thrives on blood, what begins as hope and opportunity quickly spirals into moral compromise. With its dark humor and captivating score, this production explores the insatiable hunger for love and fame; asking us what we are willing to sacrifice for the dream of “somewhere that’s green.”

Recommended for ages +13
