Little Shop of Horrors

We got to see Little Shop of Horrors at the Cleveland Playhouse!  Let me start by saying this is one of my favorite musicals of all time.  It's darkly humorous and the music is fantastic! You can see a video preview here.

This production is a little different from your standard version of Little Shop.  The urchins (the girls) are also the band/orchestra this time.  They interact with the other characters and carry their instruments around on stage.  It's a great effect!  Plus, there are 2 more than usual.

The puppetry on the stage is also impressive.  I thought that Seymour was controlling the plant but you could see both his hands.  The actor who voices the plant is excellent!  You'd swear he was Levi Stubbs!   Please go see this show, it's amazing!
