Seaman High School presents ... 'Little Shop of Horrors'

Topeka Capital-Journal, The, Mar 9, 2004 by Capital-Journal

Synopsis: "Little Shop of Horrors" is a campy musical about a man- eating Venus' flytrap. The musical is set in a flower shop inconveniently located on Skid Row where meek Seymour Krelbourn breeds a tiny plant that he names Audrey II out of love for salesgirl Audrey. Because the mysterious plant needs blood to live, Seymour, in a Faustian pact, agrees to feed it in return for a guarantee that it will attract publicity to make him rich and famous. Soon this unlikely Sweeney Todd has found a way to do in anyone he wants, and when last seen the monstrous mutant is about to devour the audience.
