🎭 Our school is thrilled to present: ✨ Little Shop of Horrors ✨


Join us for an unforgettable performance filled with powerful vocals, vibrant characters, and the kind of storytelling that stays with you long after the curtain falls. Little Shop of Horrors is a darkly comedic musical that follows Seymour, a timid flower shop assistant who discovers a mysterious plant with a taste for blood. As the plant — named Audrey II— grows, so does Seymour’s fame, fortune, and moral dilemma.
It’s quirky, campy, and irresistibly fun — a cult classic that delivers big laughs, memorable music, and a wildly entertaining story.

🎶 Expect laughter, heart, and show‑stopping moments brought to life by our incredibly talented cast and crew. 🎤 Whether you’re a musical lover or just looking for a fun night out, this is a show you won’t want to miss.
