See it if You like fun, campy shows with great music. Jeremy Jordan & Christian Borle were phenomenal and so funny! I smiled so much my face hurt!
Don't see it if You don't like science fiction themed shows or smaller, more intimate theatres. Or if you have issues with depictions of domestic violence.
See it if You want to be blown away by amazing talent across the board, riveting story, earworm songs. What a cast!
Don't see it if you’re afraid of Audrey 2!

"The secret to this production's success, though, is Michael Mayer's boffo staging. It's as though he directed with a magnifying glass, amplifying all the best parts. Of course, it helps to have a company this gifted."

" 'Little Shop of Horrors' remains the most reliably entertaining musical comedy off-Broadway."

"Everyone in Michael Mayer's production is on their best behavior, handling these bizarre goods with a welcome delicacy…Mayer and company preserve the show's oddball double vision, in which slapstick murder and honest yearning keep company, with results that are both charming and amusingly sordid."

4/5 Stars "Anyone who's been wondering if Jonathan Groff is too handsome to play the schlubby Seymour in 'Little Shop of Horrors' can stop worrying right now. He's ideally cast as theater's most famous green-thumbed geek"

4/5 Stars "Audrey II is back, and the talking topiary is just as primed for conquest as ever. This new production is a delightful reminder of just how charming and weird and funny and sweet the 1982 mock-horror musical is"

"This extraordinarily smart musical...may well be the best argument that one doesn't need a happy ending to leave the theater with a smile on your face. All you actually need is two hours of Alan Menken's ear-catching tunes, a ton of supremely clever lyrics and a host of beautifully drawn characters."

"In a counterintuitive casting coup, handsome Jonathan Groff stars as the nebbish Seymour Krelborn who works at Mushnik's (a funny, kvetchy Tom Alan Robbins) failing flower shop on Skid Row. Although it is difficult to forget Groff's physical attributes, he delivers a brilliantly realized sad sack Seymour."
