WIN! with <strong>TWT</strong>!<br />
Little Shop of Horrors<br />
Musical at Lakeside Road<br />

Seymour Krelbourn is stuck.<br />
He has a dead-end job in the<br />
most hopeless florist shop in<br />
New York and a hopeless crush<br />
on his co-worker.<br />
He also has a peculiar hobby –<br />
cultivating rare plants.<br />
When he finds a small, unclassified<br />
flytrap, his discovery may<br />
be the key that will get him out<br />
of Skid Row – if only he can keep<br />
it alive.<br />
He stumbles on a solution that<br />
won’t cost much – only his soul.<br />
A timely reminder to be cautious<br />
about big promises and<br />
small compromises, this sweet<br />
and satirical retelling of the<br />
Faust story combines a tribute<br />
to the B-Grade monster movies<br />
of the 1960s with an infectious<br />
Motown inspired score from the<br />
song-writing team that brought<br />
