 1960 is a difficult year for Seymour Krelbourn. Brought up by a man named Mr. Mushnik, Seymour is an orphan and an outcast. Living on urban Skid Row, he works at Mushnik's Skid Row Florist, alongside a poor young woman a few years older named Audrey, who is being beaten by her boyfriend. But business is not good, so Mr. Mushnik decides to close the shop to save himself from the grief of Skid Row life. However, Seymour comes up with a plan to save the store. He shows the strange and interesting plant he has collected which he has named Audrey II after his secret love for Audrey. Customers flock in and he tells the unlikely story of how he found the Audrey II during a total eclipse of the sun. But after the shop is closed the Audrey II plant suddenly wilts and Seymour has to try and nurse it back to health. He begs the plant to grow and accidentally feeds it blood after getting poked with rose thorns. When he realizes that the blood is what the plant wants, he decides that he must feed it because if he is successful, perhaps the real Audrey will like him. For the next week, he stays up all night, poking his fingers to feed the plant.
What ensues is one of the most hilarious cult musicals, with man eating plants and a hopelessly outwitted Seymour. With such songs as Skid Row, Some Fun Now, and of course, the infamous, Feed me Seymour! This musical is a delight for all the family.
