WVHS Drama Club presents… Little Shop of Horrors… TIX ON SALE TODAY!
Get ready, Warwick, because the maniacal, man-eating plant Audrey 2 is making his return to WVHS in March!
The hilariously gruesome musical Little Shop of Horrors follows the story of Seymour, a hapless florist shop worker who raises a ferocious talking plant that feeds on human blood and flesh. Along with him are Audrey, a helpless woman who just can’t find the right guy; Mushnik, a greedy flower shop owner; some sassy street urchins; and Orin, the sadistic dentist. Now a musical staple featuring music by Alan Menken and lyrics and book by Howard Ashman, Little Shop contains such classic songs as “Skid Row,” “Suddenly Seymour” and “Dentist!,” among many other great numbers.
Directing the musical is the club’s advisor, Nick DiLeo. Joining him once again are Donna Nestor as producer, Beth Maisonet as choreographer, Noreen Hanson as vocal and musical director, Ruth Trovato as associate director, and Rocco Manno and the WVHS Set Design Class as set creators. The Audrey 2 puppets are created by local artists Anna Thomas and Yvonne Bel-Blatt.
Little Shop of Horrors will perform on Friday, March 18th at 7 pm, and on Saturday, March 19th at 1 pm and 7 pm. Tickets are $12.00 general admission and $10.00 for senior citizens and children under 10. Tickets will go on sale Monday, February 28 at 8 am using the ticket order form on the WVCSD website. Because the larger plants might frighten our younger audience members, parental guidance is advised.
As was done in the fall, the Drama Club will follow a strict COVID protocol which will be released as the production nears.
