 This rock musical is about a hapless florist shop
worker, Seymour, living on skid row. His boss, Mr. Mushnick is
struggling to keep his shop open. Seymour finds a way to bring the
shop and himself to fame and fortune by purchasing an exotic plant
and naming it Audrey II after the girl he loves. The plant proves
good for business and attracts many customers to the store; however,
Seymour soon learns that Audrey II thrives on human blood and flesh.
In order to keep the plant growing, Seymour must come up with human
food source to satisfy the plants hardy appetite. In the end Seymour
must confront the plant to secure a future of happiness with Audrey
as well as to save man-kind.
