Little Shop of Horrors tells the story of Seymour, a timid and nerdy sales clerk at the seedy Mushnik's Skid Row Florists, barely in business in lower Manhattan. He achieves fame and fortune after he discovers an exotic plant named Audrey II, a giant man-eating plant who demands to be fed, finally revealing itself to be an alien creature poised for global domination! A Greek chorus of hip soul singers narrates the thriller with a score in the 1960s style of rock and roll, doo-wop, and Motown. Audrey's appetite grows to gigantic proportions as the cast rapidly diminishes.Can't get to Miller Outdoor Theatre to see this show? Purchase the 1986 cult classic movie version of Little Shop of Horrors, featuring Rick Moranis, Steve Martin, and Ellen Greene. Bill Murray even makes a character appearance.
And while you're at it, why not stop by the Houston Museum of Natural Science to see Audrey II's friend, Lois the Corpse Flower, as she blooms. Can't get to the museum to see Lois? Check her out as she blooms on the museum's webcam.
According to the Houston Museum of Natural Science's website:
The "Corpse Flower" (Amorphophallus titanum) gets its name from the pungent stench it emits in bloom - this, combined with the flower's huge size and deep purple color, convinced the first explorers who encountered it in Sumatra to believe it was a man-eating plant! Since then, this extremely rare plant has gained celebrity status by having one of the largest, rarest, and smelliest flowers in the world. These flowers can reach heights of 7-10 ft and a diameter of 5-6 ft.
