Marcie Gorman-Althof and Michael Lifshitz, the producing partners behind MNM Productions, one of South Florida's hottest theatre companies, today confirmed that their fourth production this year, the comedy rock musical LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS, will open this Friday at the Kravis Center's Rinker Playhouse.

LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS

If you have an appetite for dark comedy, desperate measures and a doo-wop score, you'll want to plant yourself in the Rinker Playhouse for a musical that sprouted from a low-budget horror film. With the fertilizing touch of composer Alan Menken and playwright Howard Ashman, the peculiar tale of a shy floral-shop worker and his carnivorous cohort has become a quirky classic.
Co-presented by the Kravis Center and MNM Productions.
Marshall E. Rinker, Sr. Playhouse
Tickets start at $35
