Oxford Playhouse is delighted to collaborate with Leeds Playhouse on an electrifying new production of Little Shop of Horrors.

This killer cult classic with bite is produced by the Leeds-based venue in association with Oxford Playhouse. Directed by Jamie Sophia Fletcher, this electrifying new production of Little Shop of Horrors sinks its teeth into the show’s gloriously dark heart, blending Broadway musical wit with retro B-movie chaos and the camp horror of the iconic 1986 film.

Down on Skid Row, timid florist’s assistant Seymour Krelborn’s life changes when he discovers a mysterious plant he names Audrey II. This wisecracking, R&B-singing carnivore promises fame, fortune, and the girl of his dreams – but demands one small thing in return: blood. As Audrey II grows, so does its appetite, and its plan for domination begins to unfold.

Packed with unforgettable songs by Alan Menken and Howard Ashman, the legendary duo behind Disney’s The Little Mermaid, Aladdin and Beauty and the Beast, this cult favourite combines dark comedy, bold visuals and irresistible tunes for a wildly entertaining night at the theatre.

Expect a bold, stylish revival that revels in the grotesque, the hilarious, and the irresistibly catchy.

Packed with unforgettable songs by Alan Menken and Howard Ashman, the legendary duo behind Disney’s The Little Mermaid, Aladdin, and Beauty and the Beast, Little Shop of Horrors has captivated audiences for decades.
