The Henrico Theatre Company will present “Little Shop of Horrors” May 5-6 at 8 p.m. and May 7 at 3 p.m. at The Cultural Arts Center at Glen Allen. Seymour Krelborn, a meek floral assistant, stumbles across a new breed of plant he names “Audrey II” – after his coworker crush. This R&B singing carnivore promises unending fame and fortune to the down-and-out Krelborn as long as he keeps feeding it blood. Over time, though, he discovers Audrey II’s out-of-this-world origins and intent towards global domination. Music is in the style of early 60s rock-and-roll, doo-wop and early Motown. Tickets are $10 for adults and $8 for seniors/students. The show continues the next two weekends. For details, call 261-ARTS or visit artsglenallen.com.
