Der kleine Horrorladen - Horror-Comedy-Rock-Musical
Book and lyrics by Howard Ashman
Music by Alan Menken
Based on the film by Roger Corman, screenplay by Charles Griffith; Directed by Klaus Seiffert
Mr. Mushnik's flower shop in the run-down backstreet of a big city has no customers, but wilted flowers, one leads to the other. Seymour, his clumsy employee, is busy breeding mysterious plants and secretly in love with his colleague Audrey. When Mushnik decides to close his shop, salvation comes in the form of a strange plant that Seymour found under mysterious circumstances and lovingly named Audrey II in honor of Audrey. As soon as this plant is displayed in the window, it attracts the interest of curious customers. The store thrives, but everything comes at a price: The plant, which grows faster than any mushroom colony, develops a very specific appetite – for human flesh. When the always-hungry plant finally reaches out its roots towards Seymour and Audrey, it's time to take action…
Based on Roger Corman's low-budget film comedy from 1960, Menken and Ashman's Horror-Comedy-Rock-Musical debuted on July 27, 1982 as an Off-Off-Broadway show and immediately caused a sensation. Shortly after its premiere, the musical made its way to German-speaking stages as "Der kleine Horrorladen" and has since experienced numerous new productions in America and internationally, ranging from enthusiastic amateur theaters to Broadway shows. The original 1982 production received, among other awards, the Drama Desk Award for Best Musical, the New York Drama Critics Circle Award for Outstanding Musical, and the Outer Critics Circle Award.
