Little Shop of Horrors feeds Denver at the Wolf Theatre from April 11 to May 25! Feast on the Denver Center’s production of a beloved sci-fi musical that has rocked the globe for generations.
Based on the book and lyrics of Howard Ashman and the film by Roger Corman, the iconic show comes to you with a star-studded broadway cast including Ben Fankhauser (Newsies, Original Broadway Cast; Spring Awakening, First National Tour) as Seymour; Gizel Jiménez (Wicked, Broadway; Lin Manuel Miranda’s Tick…Tick..BOOM! and Warriors Concept Album); and Will Branner (Back to the Future, Broadway; Mean Girls, First National Tour).
Experience the meek yet nurturing Seymour Krelborn as he’s down on his luck working at a flower shop on Skid Row. Despite being infatuated with his co-worker Audrey, she’s caught in a toxic relationship with a sadistic dentist. Seymour chances upon a strange and mysterious new plant he nurses back to health. However, when the flytrap’s appetite for human blood is discovered, it thrives and sings for its supper! But when Audrey II’s bloodlust becomes insatiable, Seymour must take a stand to prevent the carnivorous plant from world domination.
Due to high demand, tickets are limited. Don’t miss your chance to experience unforgettable musical numbers including the title track, “Skid Row” and “Suddenly, Seymour.” Theater lovers will indulge in a massive dose of nostalgia while newcomers will bask in the joy of this larger-than-life musical comedy and the world of broadway!
