“An appetizing revival of the to-die-for musical” - The San Jose Mercury News
“A monster of a hit...The cast is terrific with standout performances by Josh Lamon as
Seymour and Christiane Noll as Audrey, both compelling actors and talented singers. Hal Linden breathes life into
Mr. Mushnik…in a show-stopping number.” – Brian Adams, 1590 KLIV
“Leaves the audience...feeling just like Audrey II between victims — ravenous for more."
–The New York Times
"This horticultural horror will have you screaming with laughter..."
–New York Post

Nerdy floral assistant finds romance with the help of an enormous man-eating plant who was sent from outer space to take over the world. Not your average-sounding musical, but where else can you find a singing plant, a darling hero, a sweet girl and a demented dentist? They are all a part of Little Shop of Horrors. American Musical Theatre of San Jose is proud to present this cult, comedy classic that will have you singing along to the rock ‘n’ roll doo-wop sounds of the 1960s.
