Join us in January as the SFA presents one of the longest running off-Broadway shows, with a 1960s rock and roll score, that will have you tapping your feet and singing along.
This horror comedy sci-fi musical, follows the misadventures of Seymour, a hapless floral assistant, who longs to escape life on skid row with the girl of his dreams. He becomes an overnight success after buying an exotic plant with an unusual craving for human blood.
Audrey II grows into a giant, ill tempered, R&B Singing carnivore, who promises limitless fame and fortune to Seymour, in exchange for feeding its ravenous appetite. Just when it’s too late, Seymour discovers Audrey II to be an alien creature on a mission of global domination.
