Little Shop of Horrors
Suddenly, Seymour is…back! Little Shop of Horrors has been delighting and disarming audiences with its story of lovestruck Seymour, a hapless flower shop employee, and his massive miscalculation that he can use a bloodthirsty succulent to win his beloved Audrey’s heart. Throw in a sadistic dentist, a hard-to-please boss, and a chorus of all-knowing skid row onlookers and you’ll see why audiences across the globe have been moving and grooving (and maybe screaming just a little) to Howard Ashman and Alan Menken’s 1960s R&B/doo-wop infused sci-fi mashup musical for more than four decades.
Little Shop of Horrors (Broadway Version) is presented through special arrangement with and licensed by Music Theatre International (MTI). All authorized performance materials are also supplied by MTI. www.mtishows.com.

The 39 Steps
This frenetic farce features four actors playing more than 150 characters in what becomes a feat of herculean hilarity and hair-pin turns in this two-time Tony Award-winning whodunit. A chance encounter with an ill-fated beautiful spy sends Richard Hannay into the bullseye of a dangerous international crime ring and sends theatre lovers on a bullet train-fast comic thrill ride full of plot twists, romance, quick-changes, and laughs delivered at a delightfully dizzying pace.
The 39 Steps is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French, Inc. www.concordtheatricals.com
July 25th - August 4th
