Western New England University Stageless Players returned to the stage with highly anticipated performances of Little Shop of Horrors on March 31 and April 1-2. Filled with clever and witty writing Little Shop of Horrors offered audiences an unforgettable performance filled with dark humor and remarkable characters. Featuring catchy and memorable songs such as "Somewhere That’s Green," “Feed Me,” and "Suddenly, Seymour," the sold-out shows production ended Stageless Players season on a high note.
Little Shop of Horrors takes place on Skid Row, where a down-on-his-luck florist named Seymour discovered a strange and exotic plant that he names Audrey II, after his co-worker and crush. However, when the plant begins to talk and demands to be fed human blood, Seymour's life takes a dark and dangerous turn. As Audrey II grows bigger and more insatiable, Seymour must decide whether to sacrifice his morals and give the plant what it wants, or risk losing everything he holds dear.
