Little Shop of Horrors

It’s that time of the year again. Musical season. In the past, the high school has put on musicals, selling out almost every time. Musicals like Into the Woods and Music Man gave choir and theatre kids a good name. This year, directors Jessica Brewster and Bethany Green have chosen the funky hip musical Little Shop of Horrors.

To those who don’t know what Little Shop of Horrors is about, stay calm. LSOH revolves around a pitiful little guy named Seymour Krelborn. Seymour works in a very unsuccessful florist shop with the lovely Audrey (who he admires greatly) and is run by the spastic and desperate Mr. Mushnik. During a solar eclipse, Seymour comes across an odd looking plant who he names Audrey II. Soon, Seymour finds out that the plant lives off of blood.

Yes that’s right, blood. After Seymour pricks his fingers countless times, the plant grows and grows, soon vocally telling him he needs more blood! It must be human, and it must be fresh. Seymour must choose: feed the plant and become famous, or let the plant die and remain a helpless person on Skid Row. The musical has a hilarious cast including the pain inflicting dentist named Orin who’s Audrey’s abusive boyfriend, the sassy and demanding Audrey II, the Do-Op chorus of girls and more.

Auditions for Little Shop of Horrors are on Thursday. People outside of theatre and choir are welcome to audition. If you have musical or acting talent, can deliver lines with wit behind your voice, or can sing your heart out, give it a shot.

Josh Fisher, Staff Reporter
Standing at a towering 6’1” weighing as much as a 6th grader, Josh Fisher has entered his senior year and is ready to rock. He was born in the wonderful majestic civilization also known as Dallas TX. In his early life, he broke his left collarbone only 3 times, broke his hand in a tussle with Mike Tyson, and snapped both his left radius and ulna bones in half. He has nicknames for both of his biceps: Micky Ward and Michelangelo. As a child he told his parents to eat their vegetables. Bees don’t sting him, purely out of respect. He found both Waldo and Carmen Sandiego in the same day. He helped Noah build the Ark. He once flew to Neverland, but came back to grow up. His hobbies include skydiving in a Superman costume, wrestling bears at night, bustin’ chops, and getting on your last nerve. He is the most interesting man in the world.
