Overview
A black comedy favorite re-imagined specifically for the Boxcar Theatre Playhouse. Step outside (literally) onto skid row at 6th Street as Seymour, a poor, lonely flower shopkeeper, dreams of a better life and a place that’s green to share with the woman he pines for, Audrey. When a rare and exotic plant mysteriously appears, he finds the fame and fortune he was looking for, and a whole lot more. This carnivorous plant has a thirst for human blood, and Seymour is just the schmuck to get it. With newly designed puppets representing the man-eating plant from outer space, this fast paced musical keeps you on your feet and your heart pounding.
