WSU's School of Performing Arts presents the musical 'Little Shop of Horrors' WSU's School of Performing Arts presents the musical 'Little Shop of Horrors'

Just in time for Halloween, the WSU School of Performing Arts Music Theatre Program will present the Broadway sci-fi musical "Little Shop of Horrors" with book and lyrics by Howard Ashman and music by Alan Menken. The musical will be performed at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 26-Saturday, Oct. 28, and 2 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 29, in Wilner Auditorium.

Based on the low budget 1960 black comedy film by the same name, the musical tells the story of meek flower shop assistant Seymour Krelborn who, after a total eclipse of the sun, discovers a new breed of plant he names "Audrey II." This foul-mouthed, R&B-singing carnivorous plant promises unending fame and fortune to the down and out Krelborn. But fame and fortune come at a very high cost. Tickets are $20 for the general public, $18 for military / senior citizens, faculty and staff, and $10 for students, with free admission for students with a WSU ID.
