When shy shop assistant Seymour discovers a mysterious carnivorous plant, fame, fortune and love suddenly seem within reach – as long as he feeds it human blood. But the plant’s appetite keeps growing… Little Shop of Horrors is a cult musical blending dark humour, social satire and iconic songs, made famous by the 1986 film adaptation.
In the role of the timid florist Seymour, we see ÅST’s Samuel Karlsson. Seymour’s secret love and colleague Audrey is played by Saga Sarkola, shop owner Mr Mushnik is portrayed by Jerry Wahlforss, and the man-eating plant Audrey II is given voice and personality by Julia Korander.
The twisted dentist Orin, who also happens to be Audrey’s boyfriend, is played by Peter Kanerva. On stage, there’s also a commenting chorus trio who drives the story forward: Crystal, Chiffon, and Ronnette. These roles are performed by Johanna Kylberg, Amanda Lindgren, and Daniela Franzell.
Also appearing are Heidi Kiviharju,Mathilda Kruse, Vera Lillqvist, Kira-Emmi Pohtokari, Ingemar Raukola, and Pontus Simm.
Directed by Emilia Nyman, conductor Tony Sikström.
