Little Shop of Horrors has delighted audiences for years in many forms. I was happy when I heard it would be going to Broadway, since I had never seen a professional performance of it. When I heard Douglas Sills (one of my personal favorites) was going to be in the cast, I was even more thrilled!
Douglas Sills did a better job as Dr. Orin and the other characters he played than I could have imagined. Kerry Butler, the Rhonnettes, Michael Leon-Wooley, and the rest of the cast also did an amazing job. I really like what Kathleen Marshall did with the choreography of Little Shop of Horrors for its first time on Broadway. I was really impressed with the whole show.
We had perfect seats for this performance, so we were able to see everyone's expressions and the details of the costume and set design. I definitely recommend this revival of a fun show.
