Guthrie Theater: "Little Shop of Horrors" (Southwest)

NOTE: The $39 seats are sold out so we added more in the $45 section. Join us at the Guthrie Theater for a frightfully funny musical. On Skid Row, Mr. Mushnik plans to shutter his failing florist shop when his timid staffer Seymour presents an exotic-but-wilted flytrap named Audrey II. Convinced it will boost business, Seymour encourages Mr. Mushnik to display the peculiar plant, which Seymour successfully revives. As Audrey II draws much-needed crowds to the shop, Seymour makes a disturbing discovery: It needs fresh blood (and lots of it) to grow — a secret that forces Seymour into a Faustian bargain to keep his fame and fortune intact. A hilarious mashup of science fiction, horror and musical theater, this cult-classic boasts Motown-inspired hits like “Feed Me (Git It),” “Suddenly, Seymour” and “Little Shop of Horrors." Tickets will be in Area 1. Meet Community Ed staff at the reception desk as you enter the lobby to pick up your tickets. The Guthrie Theater is located at 818 2nd St S. Minneapolis, MN 55415 Transportation is on your own. After June 18th you can transfer your tickets but no refunds or cancelations are available. If event is full, please enroll for the waitlist.
