Little Shop of Horrors Set to Open Oct. 26
Statesville, NC - Center Stage Alliance is proud to present Little Shop of Horrors, opening Thursday, Oct. 26 at the Mac Gray Auditorium in Statesville.
A deviously delicious Broadway and Hollywood sci-fi smash musical, Little Shop tells the story of meek floral assistant, Seymour Krelborn, who stumbles across a new breed of plant he names “Audrey II” - after his coworker crush.
This foul-mouthed, R&B-singing carnivore promises unending fame and fortune to the down-and-out Krelborn as long as he keeps feeding it, but there’s a price to pay. Directed by Josh Myers, with Karla Kincaid as musical director and Justin Wooten as choreographer, this all-local cast will have the audience begging for more.
Corey Johnson stars as Seymour, alongside Lorie Goins as Audrey and TJ Johnson voicing the man-eating Audrey II. One of the longest-running Off-Broadway shows, Little Shop of Horrors is a charmingly tonguein-cheek comedy that has been produced worldwide and devoured the hearts of theatre goers for over 30 years.
“It’s campy, it’s funny, it’s sincere…it’s FUN! It’s a perfect way to spend an evening this Halloween season,” said Josh Myers. “I’m so proud of all the work this cast, crew and band have put into making this production an absolute spectacle. It’s an escape from the everyday into a world of wonderful weirdness!”
Little Shop of Horrors runs Oct. 26 and 28 at 7:30pm, Oct. 29 at 3:30pm, Nov. 2, 3 and 4 at 7:30pm, and Nov. 5 at 3:30pm.
Tickets can be purchased in advance at centerstagealliance.org, or at the door. Tickets are $20/each, with discounts available for advance, online ticket purchases using codes posted on the Center Stage Alliance website.
