Feed Me, Seymour!

Hilarious, charming, and full of toe-tapping numbers from Disney songwriter Alan Menken, Little Shop of Horrors is an entertaining pastiche of the Sci-Fi B movies of the 1950s, with an outlandish villain, a bubbly blonde, and a shambling everyman who's gotta save the world and get the girl. Presented at the Palace Theatre by Southend Operatic & Dramatic Society, get ready to enter the Little Shop of Horrors when it opens its doors from April 22nd to April 25th, 2026!

When flower store assistant Seymour Krelborn stumbles upon a very strange new plant species, he has high hopes that his discovery will lead to fame, fortune, and the heart of his unrequited crush, Audrey. But Seymour gets a whole lot more than he bargained for from this exotic foliage. After an accident, the cute little Audrey II (named for his beloved) develops an insatiable thirst for human blood and a set of R&B singing pipes, leading Seymour to turn serial killer to keep his secret from bursting out of Skid Row and endangering the whole human race. Think Groot, but with a carnivorous appetite!
