2Little Shop of Horrors has always been a bizarre delight—a cult classic that blends campy horror, sci-fi absurdity, and classic Broadway heart. The Off-Broadway revival at New York’s Westside Theatre doesn’t just honor the show’s legacy; it elevates it with humor, heart, and a cast that understands the assignment.
With book and lyrics by Howard Ashman and music by Alan Menken, this production retains all the charm of its predecessors while injecting fresh energy into the twisted tale of Seymour Krelborn, a hapless flower shop assistant who stumbles upon a peculiar plant with a sinister appetite. Under Michael Mayer’s sharp direction, the show zips along at a perfect pace, finding that sweet spot between zany comedy and emotional sincerity.
"Based on Roger Corman’s 1960 movie, with a book and lyrics by Howard Ashman and music by Alan Menken, this is a stellar production of the enduring, endearingly eccentric and romantic horror sci-fi tragicomedy—with teeth—and a lot of heart."
"This is a musical front-loaded with delights and its beaming rock’n’soul chorus, each member named after a 60s girl group (the Ronettes, Chiffons and Crystals), clearly knows how irresistible their harmonies are."
