WIN! with <strong>TWT</strong>!<br />

Little Shop of Horrors<br />

Musical at Lakeside Road<br />

Three <strong>TWT</strong> readers can win Double Passes to opening night of Eastwood<br />

Uniting Church Musical Society’s new production Little Shop of<br />

Horrors on Friday <strong>October</strong> 26 at 14-16 Lakeside Road Eastwood at 8pm.<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 />

usDisney’s<strong>The</strong> Little Mermaid,<br />
