Join The Majestic Academy of Dramatic Arts as it presents the musical classic Little Shop Of Horrors live onstage at Holy Cross Hall at the Manchester Community Music School on May 31, June 1 and June 2. Performances May 31 and June 1 are at 7 p.m., and the June 2 show is at 2 p.m.
The show stars Concord’s Laura Braley as Audrey and Peter Newland as Seymour.
A down-and out skid row floral assistant becomes an overnight sensation when he discovers an exotic plant with a mysterious craving for fresh blood. Soon “Audrey II” grows into an ill-tempered, foul-mouthed, R&B-singing carnivore who offers him fame and fortune in exchange for feeding its growing appetite, finally revealing itself to be an alien creature poised for global domination!
One of the longest-running Off-Broadway shows of all time, this affectionate spoof of 1950s sci-fi movies has become a household name, thanks to a highly successful film version and a score by the songwriting team of Howard Ashman and Alan Menken, who redefined the animated musical film with Disney’s The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast and Aladdin. Charming, tuneful and hilarious, with tongue firmly planted in cheek, Little Shop Of Horrors never fails to entertain.
This performance features the following: book by Howard Ashman, music by Alan Menken, lyrics by Howard Ashman and is based on the film by Roger Corman, screenplay by Charles Griffith.
Majestic’s Little Shop of Horrors is directed by Jennifer Mallard, with musical direction by Keith Belanger.
Performances will be held at The Manchester Community Music School’s Holy Cross Hall located at 2291 Elm St. in Manchester.
Tickets are $18 for adults, $15 for seniors 65 and above and $12 for youth 17 and under. Tickets can be purchased by visiting or calling the box office at 669-7469, online at majestictheatre.net or at the door prior to the performance. For more information visit majestictheatre.net.
