Little Shop of Horrors
Crisply directed by Sean Murray, this spirited production of the B-movie classic goes back to the musical's black and white roots. Everything on Sean Fanning's Skid Row set's in shades of gray, including the costumes. Only Audrey II, the carnivorous plant, is in Technicolor. Melissa Fernandes heads the cast as the emotionally bedraggled Audrey Fulquard (and does a wonderful rendition of "Somewhere That's Green"). Brandon Joel Maier and Phil Johnson hit the right notes as Seymour and Mr. Mushnick, and Geno Carr shows impressive versatility as a passel of baddies. David McBean gives Audrey II the requisite booming voice and the overwhelming urge to convert all of humanity into "plant food." [due to popular demand, Cygnet has extended the run of this show].
