 Little
Shop of Horrors is a horror comedy rock musical written by Alan
Menken with lyrics and book by Howard Ashman. It tells the story of
Seymour Krelbourn, a meek and dispirited hourly worker at a flower
shop that discovers a strange and interesting plant. With his help,
the plant grows and flourishes, and with it grows Seymour’s fortune
and fame. However, the plant eventually develops a thirst for blood
and begins to threaten everything Seymour holds dear, including his
blossoming relationship with his coworker Audrey.
