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.
