Der kleine Horrorladen

In the organizer's words:

Open-air musical

Book and lyrics by Howard Ashman. Music by Alan Menken. Based on the film by Roger Corman. Screenplay by Charles Griffith. German by Michael Kunze.

A run-down flower store is on the verge of going out of business. When the customers stop coming, Mr. Mushnik decides to close his store for good. But his two employees Seymour and Audrey know what to do: a bizarre, talking plant is supposed to save the store from ruin. With success! The dainty plant becomes an attraction in the town. In order for it to grow and thrive, however, Seymour has to feed it with blood. It comes as it must: Like her, her appetite grows bigger and bigger, and the story soon takes a murderous turn.

We're bringing the quirky cult musical "The Little Shop of Horrors" to the open-air stage at Burg Wilhelmstein for the first time in a thrilling, fast-paced production with plenty of black humor. First performed in New York in 1982 as "Little Shop of Horrors", the film adaptation starring Rick Moranis, Steve Martin, Bill Murray and John Candy became a worldwide success in 1986 and songs such as "Grow for Me", "Downtown" and "Little Shop of Horrors" became hits. Look forward to a musical of a different kind and to the songs of yesteryear in German. The powerful DAS DA ensemble will be accompanied by our four-piece live band - and a two-meter tall horror plant.
