"Little Shop of Horrors" returns to its off-Broadway roots in a new production starring Emmy winner Tammy Blanchard, Tony nominee Jeremy Jordan, and two-time Tony winner Christian Borle. More…
From the show:
Don’t miss the “triumphant and delicious revival” (The New York Times) of LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS! Experience the hit musical as it was meant to be seen, in an intimate 270-seat setting. This “wildly exuberant and irresistible” (The Hollywood Reporter) production stars Emmy® Award winner Tammy Blanchard ("Life with Judy Garland: Me and My Shadows"), Tony Award® nominee Gideon Glick (To Kill a Mockingbird), and two-time Tony winner Christian Borle (Something Rotten!). Together they bring succulent new life to “the best musical ever adapted from a movie” (Time Out, Critics’ Pick).
Featuring a book and lyrics by Oscar® and Grammy Award® winner Howard Ashman (The Little Mermaid), music by Oscar and Tony winner Alan Menken (Aladdin), and direction by Tony winner Michael Mayer (Spring Awakening), “this LITTLE SHOP is to die for!” (NY1).
See it if you're like the show/movie. Great sets, amazing puppet.

See it if A lighthearted and fun take on Little Shop. All performances were solid.
Don't see it if You don’t like Little Shop.
See it if u want to see a jaunty, sentimental, nostalgic, expertly staged, faithful revival of the feel-good horror cult classic (now a pop staple).
Don't see it if you expect a reimagining, updating or contemporizing of the material [This is strictly a by-the-numbers homage, albeit a skillful one.]
Also This production is proof-positive that some shows belong in an intimat... Read more Read less
See it if entertainingly absurdist tale of murderous plant; hear Menken's fine music, Ashman's witty lyrics; Chris Borle masterful in various roles
Don't see it if fatuous plot; 2 much Borsht Belt humor; uneasy marriage of silliness & darkness; some music dated; anti-racism message too obscure/see below
Also Little Shop may be viewed from a number of perspectives. On one level,... Read more Read less
See it if you enjoy dark comedy and quirky, off-beat stories. The score is fun and you can’t beat Groff and Borle in an intimate setting.
Don't see it if you’re turned off by human sacrifice. Lol
See it if You love the show or have never seen it. It’s a terrific, traditional staging of a great show with a great cast (Borle especially).
Don't see it if You dislike the show or these actors, or are expecting a new staging.
See it if great acting (Borle rocks all his characters/Grof is adorable), music, dance & song. Audrey 2 & puppeteers are terrific, intimate setting.
Don't see it if you want an Ellen Greene impersonator. Blanchard is vulnerable/lovable but doesn't have Greene's singing chops. Accept that & all is good.
See it if you want to see a near-perfect production of a classic camp musical performed, as it should be, in a small theater

See it if you want to see Jonathan Groff be completely wonderful as Seymour. So much fun I would see it again. Christian Borle was a hoot. Thumbs up

Don't see it if Blanchard seems to be channeling Zellweiger doing Garland but in the end it works as a character arc
