Little Shop of Horrors

Little Shop of Horrors is at the Belgrade Theatre from Tuesday 27 to Saturday 31 October, a brand-new production that's a joint effort between Exeter Northcott Theatre, Lighthouse Poole, and the Belgrade. It's directed by Martin Berry, with music by Alan Menken and book and lyrics by Howard Ashman.

If you've never seen it, the story is a classic: Seymour is a mild-mannered florist who stumbles upon a strange, exotic plant with a very particular taste. As success blooms and true love beckons, he's left facing an impossible choice. It's a musical built on iconic songs, larger-than-life characters, and a carnivorous plant with a mind of its own. The production is recommended for ages 10 and up, and it's worth knowing there are flashing lights, haze, some mild language, and a bit of peril throughout. Access performances are available too.

It's a short run, so you'll want to pick your night early. All evening performances start at 7.30pm, and there are 2pm matinees on Thursday 29 and Saturday 31 October. The show is staged in the Belgrade's B1 auditorium, and tickets start from £20, which is part of the My Belgrade Subscription.
