About The Show

 

A “HOT” event for the fall as named by North Shore Magazine. The frighteningly fantastical musical arrives just in time for Halloween to make audiences scream with laughter. From the award-winning duo of Howard Ashman and Alan Menken  (DISNEY’S THE LITTLE MERMAID, BEAUTY AND THE BEAST, and ALADDIN), LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS is a sci-fi horror comedy meets love story meets rock musical as a carnivorous plant from outer space takes over meek Mushnik’s Flower Shop employee Seymour’s life and threatens to ruin his hope of finding love with his secret crush, Audrey.

Running time: Two hours and 15 minutes including one intermission

Show Run Dates: October 24 – November 17, 2024

Our performance home at the North Shore Center for the Performing Arts in Skokie recently shared updated new safety procedures for future productions.

The new procedures include:
Attendees will be directed to enter using the door closest to their performance space. Each guest must have a ticket, pass or credential to gain entrance to the venue. On busy performance nights when both theatre spaces are in use, audiences may be asked to use both front and side entrances to keep the lines moving. Please follow instructions provided as you arrive at the Center.

In addition, for the safety and security of our guests, employees, and performers, all guests are subject to a reasonable search and inspection of any parcels, bags or purses and hand-held metal detectors may be used. Purses or bags larger than 12” x 6” x 12” are not permitted in the venue. Diaper bags and medical bags are permitted but will be subject to search. Clear bags are encouraged to keep the security process moving along quickly. Guests may return any prohibited items to their vehicle or dispose of the items prior to entering. No re-entry is permitted.
