Little Shop of Horrors

There’s theater and then there’s theater lite, and this summer, the Strand Theatre in Galveston is happy to supply the latter. Alan Menken and Howard Ashman’s popular confection Little Shop of Horrors is full of ‘60s-style doo-wop tunes that keep everyone humming along. The dark comedy focuses on a skid-row floral shop and a guy named Seymour who finds a mysterious plant. He names his find Audrey II, after the girl of his dreams, and goes on to become an overnight success when everyone falls in love with the new green sensation.
