Feed me, Seymour: Theatre Northwest brings Little Shop of Horrors to the local stage

Quirky and carnivorous cult musical opens Sept. 12

Theatre Northwest brings the classic Little Shop of Horrors to the stage Sept. 12-Oct. 9.

"Step into a world where the quirky meets the carnivorous in our thrilling production of Little Shop of Horrors," the theatre states.

The cult classic musical, directed by Anna Russell, tells the story of Seymour, a florist who finds a man-eating plant that changes his life forever, particularly when it comes to the woman he pines for, Audrey.

David Michael Juma plays Seymour, with Tayo Gbalajobi as Audrey.

Loosely based on the 1960 Roger Corman horror movie of the same name, this version is a comedy rock music that was written by Howard Ashman with music by Alan Menken. It was an off-Broadway hit and was adapted into a 1986 movie starring Rick Moranis as Seymour.

Tickets are available at the Theatre Northwest box office, 556 North Nechako Rd., Monday to Thursday, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.

The play runs about two hours.

Content Warning: Theatre Northwest advises that this production contains harmful stereotypes, portrayals of domestic abuse, mentions of poverty, death, and outdated language that may be offensive to some viewers.
