Directed by the King of Cult Cinema, Roger Corman, 1960’s, Little Shop of Horrors, approached the burgeoning horror genre farcically, employing humor to tell the story of a florist’s assistant who begins feeding his plants human blood. Thanks to word-of-mouth, acclaim, and an appearance of young Jack Nicholson, Little Shop of Horrors became a cult hit. This led to various adaptations over the years, including a 1986 movie retelling, which served as the basis for the off-Broadway musical of the same name. Though only loosely based on Corman’s original film, the Little Shop of Horrors musical became a hit thanks to its musical selection of rock and roll, early Motown, and doo-wop.
