Next Weekend – Little Shop of Horrors at Ring Theatre
Arriving at the beginning of the Ring Theatre’s 2019-20 season and just in time to inspire you for Halloween, this gem of an American musical comedy marked one of the first collaborations between composer Alan Menken and lyricist/book writer Howard Ashman. Inspired by the 1960 dark comedy horror film of the same name, it tells the story of a down-on-his-luck resident of Skid Row who is offered the girl of his dreams, fame, and success from an all-powerful carnivorous plant… but at what cost? The play runs from September 26 to October 5th. https://ring-theatre.as.miami.edu/current-season/
