‘Little Shop of Horrors’ opens at ProArts Playhouse on March 14
The hit sci-fi musical “Little Shop of Horrors” opens at ProArts Playhouse on Friday, March 14.
“Little Shop of Horrors” has captivated audiences worldwide for over three decades. Created by Howard Ashman and Alan Menken—renowned for their work on Disney’s “The Little Mermaid,” “Beauty and the Beast” and “Aladdin”—the musical continues to be one of the most beloved shows ever staged.
The story follows Seymour Krelborn, a shy floral assistant who discovers a mysterious plant he names “Audrey II”—named after his co-worker and secret crush. This foul-mouthed, R&B-singing carnivore promises Krelborn fame and fortune, but at a dark cost—he must feed it BLOOD. As Krelborn becomes increasingly entangled in Audrey II’s demands, he uncovers the plant’s sinister extraterrestrial origins and its plans for global domination.
The performance runs from March 14 to April 6, 2025 at ProArts Playhouse, located at 1280 South Kīhei Road, in Azeka Plaza.
The show is sponsored by Wave of Harmony Foundation and Marji Knowles and Michael Tibbott. Puppets are sponsored by Janet Ruben.
