About the Show

The musical comedy classic stars Betsy Wolfe and Ethan Slater.

Performed in an intimate 270-seat setting, this horror-sci-fi-musical comedy brings audiences up close and personal with the cast and characters, including Seymour, Audrey, and, of course, the carnivorous, megalomaniacal plant at the center of the story.

The 1982 musical is by Alan Menken and Howard Ashman, best known for their musical contributions to Disney movies like 'The Little Mermaid' and 'Beauty and the Beast.' This production, directed by Michael Mayer ('Spring Awakening'), won Drama Desk, Outer Critics Circle, and Drama League Awards for Best Musical Revival.

4/5 Stars "Mayer has wrangled a marvelous cast…Groff's Seymour is a likable klutz with just a hint of deadpan creepiness…Christian Borle solidifies his status as the preeminent musical-theater clown of his generation...And Blanchard is a revelation...She's the heart of the production."

"The show’s most charming quality is its feeling of having been put on for the hell of it. I’m sure it’s going to make money. It’s a dream cast of consummate pros. But — and my eyes look like hearts while I type this — the infectious energy is pure amateur."

"You get the sense here that the scale of the production comes with utter intentionality — an honoring of great material more than a quest for profit. And, therefore, that feeling of determined mission permeates everything that’s happening. You’ll get all the feels you need."

"Directed at a quick clip by Michael Mayer, this 'Little Shop' is played out on the small, tight stage of the Westside Theater with an ever-growing, masterfully manipulated plant. The close confines give this 'Little Shop' the intimacy of home viewing."
