Musical plant invades Aylesbury

The show tells the story of Seymour Krelborn, assistant at Mushnik’s Flower Shop in downtrodden Skid Row, who becomes an overnight sensation after he discovers a strange and exotic plant.

He names the plant Audrey Two in an effort to impress glamorous Audrey the colleague he’s secretly in love with.

But as Audrey Two starts to wilt, Seymour’s job and a future with colleague Audrey looks to be at risk.

Accidentally pricking his finger, Seymour discovers Audrey Two needs a little more than plant food in order to thrive.

The plant grows into a bad tempered, foul mouthed carnivore whose voracious appetite becomes increasingly difficult to satisfy.

Seymour must keep the meals coming to stop his prized plant from wilting but how far is he prepared to go to secure the love of the woman of his dreams?
