Am dram is back at the Civic with a classic
The 1960s musical tells the story of Seymour Krelborn, an assistant at Mushnik’s Flower Shop in downtrodden Skid Row, who becomes an overnight sensation when he discovers a strange and exotic plant.
In order to impress glamorous Audrey, the shop assistant he’s secretly in love with, he names it Audrey Two.

But Audrey Two has a mind of its own and soon grows into a bad-tempered carnivore with an appetite that can’t be satisfied and a soulful R&B voice.
Seymour must keep the meals coming to stop his prized plant from wilting, but how far is he willing to go to get the girl of his dreams?
The sci-fi horror musical features an electrifying pop/rock score by Alan Menken and Howard Ashman.
The show will open at the Civic on Tuesday (14) for a five-night run plus Saturday matinee by RTSA, after it was postponed in March 2020.
