Roger Corman's 1960s film reimagined the horror genre with farcical humor and a plot about a florist's assistant who feeds his plants human blood. The film gained cult status through word-of-mouth, critical acclaim, and a young Jack Nicholson's appearance. The success spawned multiple adaptations, including a 1986 film retelling that became the basis for an off-Broadway musical. The Little Shop of Horrors musical, only loosely based on the original, succeeded by blending rock and roll, early Motown, and doo-wop. A local production runs Saturday, Sept 6 at 8pm at Sunnyvale Community Theatre, with tickets priced $49–$57.
