TheatreWorks Silicon Valley kicks off its 2022/23 season with a riotous show for the holidays, "Little Shop of Horrors", reset in San Francisco's Chinatown. In this offbeat hit musical, narrated through doo-wop ditties by a trio of neighborhood girls, meek florist Seymour finds himself catapulted into instant celebrity when he cultivates an otherworldly showstopper, a highly unusual plant. Spotlighting multicultural casting, director Jeffrey Lo moves the setting to San Francisco's Chinatown, exploring the cross-cultural community fostered there by marginalized people of color. "Little Shop of Horrors" features an iconic score by Alan Menken and Howard Ashman (the Academy Award-winning team behind Disney's "The Little Mermaid", "Beauty and the Beast", and "Aladdin"), offering a light-hearted romp suitable for parents, grandparents, and even the youngsters (recommended for ages 13+).
