Aliens are coming to Southport

Award winning local theatre group Southport Spotlights MTS are presenting the spectacular musical “Little Shop of Horrors” on 28 June - 5 July 2014 7:30pm (2:30pm matinee on the last Saturday) at The Little Theatre, Hoghton Street, Southport PR9 0PA.

The show was made famous by the film version featuring Rick Moranis, Steve Martin and Bill Murray and on stage recently had a successful West End run starring BAFTA award-winning actress Sheridan Smith.

It tells the story of a nerdy young florist's assistant named Seymour Krelborn, who is about to be fired when Audrey, another employee, urges him to bring out a mysterious new strain of plant that he's been tinkering with. Mushnik, the store owner, gives Seymour one week to see if the "Audrey 2" plant improves his business.

Unfortunately Seymour soon learns that Audrey 2 can talk and has a gruesome appetite.

He also discovers that the plant brings him success, money and fame--as well as the romantic interest of Audrey. However, the alien plant’s appetite grows bigger, with tragic results.

This hugely successful show is bursting with songs and a lively score by Alan Menkin whose past productions list Sister Act and Disney's Aladdin amongst others.

Not only that, but the Southport show features the largest animated puppet in Audrey 2 to appear on the Little Theatre stage.
