A tiny, fifth-floor walkup is the setting for marital fireworks between Corie, a free spirited bride, and Paul, a young uptight, buttoned-down lawyer.
The newlyweds have a lot to learn about eachother, marital negotiations and the art of communications. Living together is made more intense and comical in the confines of their new apartment with frequent visits from Paul's mother-in-law and by Victor, their oddball upstairs neighbour.
MUSICAL THEATRE PRODUCTIONS
Little Shop of Horrors (March 20-29 at the Palace Theatre) is a rockin’ musical comedy about a down-and out skid row florist who becomes an overnight sensation when he discovers an exotic plant with a mysterious craving for fresh blood. Soon “Audrey II” grows into an ill-tempered, foul-mouthed, R&B-singing carnivore who offers him fame and fortune in exchange for feeding its growing appetite, finally revealing itself to be an alien creature poised for global domination!
This affectionate spoof of 1950s sci-fi movies has become a house-hold name, thanks to a highly successful film version and a score by the songwriting team of Howard Ashman and Alan Menken. Charming, tuneful and hilarious, with tongue firmly planted in cheek, “Little Shop of Horrors” never fails to entertain. Tickets available at Palace Theatre Box Office, 519-432-1029, www.musicaltheatreproductions.ca
