Remembering "Little Shop of Horrors"

November 1–23, 2013

In November 2013, the Eagle Theatre presented Little Shop of Horrors, offering audiences a fresh take on the classic musical. This production combined dark, gothic elements with a touch of realism, creating a unique experience that resonated with theatergoers.​

Directed by Ed Corsi, the show followed the story of Seymour, a down-and-out floral assistant who discovers an unusual plant with a craving for human blood. As the plant, named Audrey II, grows, so does Seymour's dilemma, leading to unexpected and darkly comedic consequences.

The Eagle Theatre's rendition stood out by balancing the show's inherent humor with its more sinister themes. The cast delivered performances that were both engaging and nuanced, bringing depth to their characters while maintaining the show's satirical edge. The creative team enhanced the storytelling with innovative set designs and lighting, immersing the audience in the eerie world of Skid Row.​

Reflecting on this production, it's evident that the Eagle Theatre's Little Shop of Horrors not only entertained but also offered a fresh perspective on a beloved musical, leaving a lasting impression on all who attended.​
