Spotlight Theatre Sprouting Up ‘Little Shop Of Horrors’ This Weekend
A new Spotlight Theatre production of the beloved musical, “Little Shop of Horrors” is creeping into the Moline theater this weekend!
Becca Johnson as Audrey, gets friendly with her Venus flytrap counterpart, Audrey II.
Directed by Spotlight co-owner Brent Tubbs, and starring Jacob Johnson as Seymour and Becca Johnson (no relation) as Audrey, the Alan Menken/Howard Ashman musical is a dream come true for all three. It runs at 7 p.m. Oct. 1-2 and 2 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 3 at 1800 7th Ave., Moline.
Based on a Roger Corman B-movie, non-musical cult classic (1960), in the 1982 off-Broadway hit, the meek floral assistant Seymour Krelborn stumbles across a new breed of plant he names “Audrey II” — after his coworker crush, Audrey.
This foul-mouthed, R&B-singing carnivore promises unending fame and fortune to the down-and-out Krelborn as long as he keeps feeding it human blood. Over time, though, Seymour discovers Audrey II’s out-of-this-world origins and relentless march towards global domination.
Tickets are $20 in advance and $22 at the door. For reservations and more information, visit thespotlighttheatreqc.com.
