Coming Up: Little Shop of Horrors

Starting Wednesday at Marshall University is the first of several terrific shows taking the stage this fall in Huntington. It's the musical comedy Little Shop of Horrors, and it runs October 3 through 6, 2007 at 8:00 p.m. All shows are in the Joan C. Edwards Performing Arts Center.

One of the longest-running Off-Broadway shows of all time, this affectionate spoof of 1950s sci-fi movies has become a house-hold name, thanks to a highly successful film version and a score by the songwriting team of Howard Ashman and Alan Menken, who redefined the animated musical film with Disney’s The Little Mermaid, Beauty And The Beast and Aladdin. Charming, tuneful and hilarious, with tongue firmly planted in cheek, Little Shop Of Horrors never fails to entertain.

I've really been looking forward to this one - Marshall's production of Hair last year was terrific, and this one promises to be another tremendously entertaining show.
