Little Shop of Horrors Reviewed by Younger Son

On October 29, 2006 I saw Little Shop of Horrors at Moraine Valley Community College.

Genre: Comedy/Sci-Fi/Horror/Musical

Setting: 1960, Skid Row

This is a story about a nerdy man named Seymour. He is very poor and works at a flower shop, owned buy Mushnik who took him in as a child and gave him a place to sleep. He works with his friend Audrey, Who Seymour likes very much. During a total eclipse Seymour found a plant, which he could not find in his books of all sorts of plants. Seymour liked the plant very much, bought it, and called the plant Audrey 2, after the love of his life, Audrey.

Seymour found out that the Audrey 2 was not growing because he could not find out what the plant liked to eat, until one day he pricked his finger on a thorn. Seymour noticed Audrey 2 perked his head up wanting Seymour’s blood. After awhile Audrey 2 Started talking to Seymour, and persuaded him to start killing other people so that he could have more blood, in exchange Audrey 2 offered him fame, fortune, And the love of his life Audrey. The 1st victim was Audrey’s Cruel, dentist, boyfriend, the next victim was Seymour’s boss, Mushnik, and the 3rd victim was Audrey.

Audrey 2 told Seymour that he was from outer space and was trying to take over the world. People were coming to take clippings of Audrey 2 so there were would be a Audrey 2 in every household in the world. Seymour realized the plants evil plan and tried to kill the plant, but was not quick enough and instead the plant ate Seymour.

**** I give this play 4 out of 5 Stars

I liked this play very much, because I really like musicals. My favorite character was Seymour. I would like to play the role of Skip-Snip, a supporting role in the play, who wanted Seymour to sign a contract to have his own TV show. I think it is a good family play.
