Little Shop of Horrors... Oh My Gosh!
We have been attending productions at the Old Town Temecula Community Theater since it opened in 2005. Today's show, by the very talented Temecula Valley Players, was absolutely exceptional.
"A deviously delicious Broadway and Hollywood sci-fi smash musical, Little Shop of Horrors has devoured the hearts of theatregoers for over 30 years. Howard Ashman and Alan Menken (Disney's The Little Mermaid, Beauty and The Beast, and Aladdin) are the creative geniuses behind what has become one of the most popular shows in the world. The meek floral assistant Seymour Krelborn stumbles across a new plant breed he calls Audrey II - after his coworker crush. This foul-mouthed, R&B-singing carnivore promises unending fame and fortune to the down-and-out Seymour as long as he keeps feeding it BLOOD. Over time, though, Seymour discovers Audrey II's out-of-this-world origins and intent toward global domination!"Lori and I attended the matinee and finale of this fun theater ride. What a hoot!
The play was all new to me. I have never seen it or the film so it was a surprise throughout. I loved it.
The cast was incredibly talented and the show was just a delight.
For me, Wyatt Mitchison-Rojas stole the show with his portrayal of Orin Scrivello D.D.S. (Audrey's abusive boyfriend and a sexy/evil dentist). I'm cracking up just thinking about his performance.
The props, scenery, and costuming were very professional, too. Can you tell that I thoroughly enjoyed this show?
"There's nothing like the buzz of live theater.
You put it out there and receive an instant reaction:
laughing, crying, yelling, applauding."
-Samantha Barks
So much laughing. So much applauding. So much talent. So much fun. Bravo!
