Coming soon, LHS is going green but not in the way people would like to. With a giant, man-eating plant, things can get a little wild. Little Shop of Horrors is the next show the theatre department is producing. This musical portrays a vivid cast of characters that will be taking the stage in the Little Theater November 9-11 and 16-18 at 7:00 pm. The 11 and 18 will also have 2:00 pm showings for anyone unable to make the late night stop.

Little Shop of Horrors is about a man named Seymour who finds a plant that brings him fame and fortune, but with a nasty twist.

“It is a show we thought about doing for several years,” drama teacher Don Johnson said. “We thought with the students we have now it would be a good year to do it. This was just the right time.”

Johnson described the show as a cult classic show about a man-eating plant that comes from outer space and ends up wanting to take over the world.

Little Shop is unlike any play that has been performed at LHS before.

“You can look forward to a lot of really interesting technology and a lot of awesome sixties costumes,” freshman Regan Mills said.“The set is so cool and the musical numbers are very impressive. You can already see it coming together and the cast is really good. Everyone will be very impressed with the show.”

This show has many unique and interesting characters, including the main characters Seymour, Audrey, and Audrey II.

Senior Dylan Moran, who plays Seymour said, “I love how socially awkward and nerdy he is, Seymour is absolutely fun to play with. He’s just very content with himself, he doesn’t really like to talk a whole lot but then he starts getting more and more famous as he goes and he kinda opens up.”

Senior Callie Broyles added “My favorite part about my character is the voice because it’s really fun,” Broyles voices Audrey II, the evil plant. “He’s got a lot of different changes in his voice where he can go really deep and also really high.”

Johnson agrees.

“I think the music’s fun, the costumes are fun and it’s a variety of different characters,” he said.“These are unlike characters we’ve had in the past.”

According to Moran, the show is already going strong.

“I feel like it will go really well. The cast is an amazing cast and the overall production right now is going absolutely fantastic. It’s going great,” Moran said.

Mills agreed.

“I think it will be really awesome and important for people to attend this show,” Mills said. “It has a really interesting message about just doing things without needing the extra help. It’s a really great show. I think people will really enjoy it and get a lot out of it.”

With the show getting closer, there’s a lot to be excited about.

“I’m most excited about getting just the overall outcome of it, I absolutely love it.” Moran said. “It’s cheesy, it’s fun, it’s humorous, it’s really going to be a good show, it’s perfect for our little stage that we have. I’m really excited for the overall outcome and the overall production.”

Tickets for the show are $5.00 for students, children and senior citizens. Tickets for adults are $10.00. Tickets can be purchased online at ShowTix4U.com or at the door.

But with every great show, there are obstacles to overcome. Things can get a little complicated.

“I think the biggest challenge is the large cast and figuring out group numbers, how everyone fits together, different scenes and just putting the show together.” Mills said. “It’s work in progress that we’re all working on and getting through.”
