This foul-mouthed, R&B-singing carnivore promises unending fame and fortune to the down and out Krelborn, as long as he keeps feeding it... blood! Over time, though, Seymour discovers Audrey II's out of this world origins and intent towards global domination!
The Wilson Theater Company show dates for this musical comedy are November 15, 16, & 17! Purchase your tickets
