‘Little Shop of Horrors’ is a darkly comedic, cult-classic musical that blends horror, satire and science fiction. Based on the 1960 film of the same name by Roger Corman, the stage adaptation was brought to life in 1982 by legendary creative duo Howard Ashman and Alan Menken in their first major collaboration before going on to create Disney classics like The Little Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast. This musical was then adapted into a popular 1986 film starring Rick Moranis and Steve Martin. With unforgettable songs such as ‘Suddenly Seymour’, ‘Skid Row (Downtown)’ and ‘Somewhere That’s Green’, Little Shop of Horrors remains a dark comedy favourite for regional theatres, high schools, and professional productions alike.
Set in a run-down flower shop on Skid Row, this beloved Broadway favourite tells the story of Seymour Krelborn, a timid florist who discovers a mysterious, carnivorous plant he names Audrey II. As the plant grows and its appetite becomes more sinister, it becomes more demanding and manipulative, ultimately revealing its intent to take over the world by reproducing and spreading. Seymour faces a life-changing dilemma: pursue fame and fortune or stop the monster he’s created.
The song “Don’t Feed the Plants” is performed as a cautionary finale. It reiterates the consequences of feeding Audrey II, the man-eating plant, and warns the audience that similar plants could show up anywhere if people let their curiosity and greed override their better judgment. It’s a memorable that underscores the show’s darkly comic message – hence the quote that has featured in this design: “Don’t Feed The Plants!”
Using the rich green colour scheme associated with this show, this pin design features Audrey II’s vines and flowers taking over the very sign warning people against feeding the plants. It’s the perfect way to celebrate your love for all things ‘Little Shop Of Horrors’.
