WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Little Shop of Horrors is the third longest running and highest grossing production in off-Broadway history, earning a myriad of awards and inspiring a wildly popular film adaptation.
This hilarious musical makes its Paper Mill premiere just in time for the summer. Based on the film by Roger Corman (Screenplay by Charles Griffith), it follows Seymour, a down-and-out clerk in a downtown flower shop, who has things start to look up for him when he discovers an unusual plant... with an even more unusual appetite.
Written by the Academy Award-winning team of Howard Ashman (book and lyrics) and Alan Menken (music), the artists behind Disney's Beauty and the Beast, this delightful score blends rock 'n' roll, doo-wop, and Motown with lyrics so memorable you'll find yourself singing along.

A truly successful production of Little Shop of Horrors must seamlessly blend camp with sincerity. And while one might expect director Mark Waldrop -- whose credits include When Pigs Fly and My Deah -- to provide an ultra-campy, elaborate staging of the famed musical, his new production at the Paper Mill Playhouse is extremely sincere and character-driven, while also providing crowd-pleasing entertainment.
Based on Roger Corman's 1960 low-budget B-horror movie of the same name, and featuring an infectious score by Alan Menken and the late Howard Ashman, the show is a black comedy combining traditional musical theater characterizations, doo-wop and Motown melodies, suggestions of the Faust m[...]
