The Show
The Lowdown
The premise is classic B-movie trash elevated by Menken and Ashman’s tight score. We have Seymour, a Skid Row florist who is chronically overlooked, and his coworker Audrey, who is stuck with a sadistic dentist boyfriend who deserves a one-way ticket to Rikers. The chaos begins when Seymour discovers a plant with an insatiable appetite for human blood. It is campy, dark, and perfectly suited for an off-Broadway house. The puppets are better than most special effects you see uptown. Go for the music and the spectacle, but maybe skip the salad afterward. It is a solid way to kill two hours before the A train gets delayed.

Our verdict
The man-eating-plant cult classic in an intimate Off-Broadway revival that's arguably the best way to see it — close enough to feel Audrey II breathe. The Ashman and Menken score is wall-to-wall earworms, the doo-wop is tight, and the rotating star casting keeps it fresh. Small room, huge fun.
