Friends of River Oaks Theatre and Buffalo Bayou Partnership co-present a musical performance by Theatre Under the Stars and a film screening of the monster-musical classic, Little Shop of Horrors (1986), at the Buffalo Bayou Water Works. Starring Rick Moranis, Ellen Greene, the late Vincent Gardenia, Steve Martin, and legendary singer Levi Stubbs, the film features the one-of-a-kind giant man-eating plant, an incredible feat of practical special effects and puppeteering.
Bring your blankets (limited rental chairs available) and settle in for an evening of raucous botany-based fun, including a pre-film musical performance by Theatre Under The Stars, with an introduction by Artistic Director Dan Knechtges about the history of the musical, the original off-broadway play on which the film is based, and how they differ. Plus, Nancy Greig, former director of the Cockrell Butterfly Center, will speak about the monsters of the botanical world. Enjoy fresh popcorn, drinks—including Saint Arnold Beer—and other concessions, including Pinks Pizza by the slice while you watch. The film will be presented in English with Spanish subtitles.
Members of Buffalo Bayou Partnership and Friends of River Oaks Theatre Cinephile Members enjoy extra perks!
Seymour Krelborn is a nerdy orphan working at Mushnik's, a flower shop in urban Skid Row. He harbors a crush on co-worker Audrey Fulquard and is berated by Mr. Mushnik daily. One day, Seymour finds a mysterious, unidentified plant called Audrey II. The plant craves blood and soon begins to sing for his supper.
