The Muny   has announced has announced its full cast, design and production teams for the cult classic, Little Shop of Horrors, July 25 – 31. Little Shop of Horrors sponsored by U.S. Bank.

“Look out! This cast is gonna get you,” said Muny Artistic Director and Executive Producer Mike Isaacson. “I can’t wait for this fabulous company to enchant us all in this sensational love story around a man-eating plant! Now that’s a night at The Muny?”

A delicious comedy for the heart of summer! Little Shop of Horrors is a campy thriller that follows meek floral assistant Seymour on his quest to win over the love of his life, Audrey.
