The great thing about The Theatre on the Bay is that you still get programmes. There is something magical about them, a sense of occasion. Many theatres have discarded this practice, so we'll have no archive of past productions, only the odd review.The programme for Little Shop of Horrorsfolds open into a huge poster- perfect as a decoration for your kids' rooms. If you're an adult with a penchant for memorabilia of stage and screen, take note.This horticultural musical will be a darling with audiences. The tunes and songs are catchy, the decor's funky, and the whole idea of a plant feeding off humans is absurd.Based on a B-grade 1960 horror movie, it combines black comedy with a score evoking the rock 'n roll style of the early 1960s. It centres on Seymour (Alan Committie), a nerdy assistant in a failing flower shop who cultivates the homicidal weed.As it grows, it attracts attention and more customers. When the plant, nicknamed AudreyII, gets bigger its demands get harder to satisfy.There's a cast of off-beat characters: Mr Mushnik (Michael Richard), the parsimonious owner of the shop who realises that he's onto a good thing, Audrey (Candice van Litsenborgh), a naive ingenue who works for a florist and on whom Seymour has a crush, and Orin (Zak Hendricks), a sadistic dentist who is Audrey's boyfriend. Sooner than later, there's blood on the floor.Three young women reminiscent of Diana Ross and the Supremes in their early days form a Greek chorus that comments on the action throughout the show.Get your act together and take the family (no children under five). It's fun, but never trust a Venus flytrap again.Until June 6. Book at www.theatreonthebay.co.za..
