Little Shop of Horrors

Encores! Off-Center

Before Aladdin, Beauty and the Beast, and The Little Mermaid, there was a sinister little houseplant saying, “Feed me.” Alan Menken and Howard Ashman’s giddy, gory musical Little Shop of Horrors was their first major hit, running Off-Broadway for five years and spawning a 1986 cult-classic film. Now the show returns to City Center in a one-night-only event starring Tony Award nominee Ellen Greene, who sailed to theater immortality as Little Shop’s original “Audrey.”
