A nerdy flower shop assistant finds a chance at success and romance with the help of a plant that feeds on human flesh and blood! The music, composed by Alan Menkin – best known for writing songs for Disney’s Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, and Aladdin, is in the style of 1960’s rock & roll.
It premiered off Broadway in 1982 and ran for five years with 2209 performances. The 1986 film version, directed by Frank Oz, received 90% on Rotten Tomatoes. A Must See!!!
