By Howard Ashman and Alan Menken
Seymour Krelborn is a meek, dejected assistant in a seedy flower shop on Skid Row, who stumbles across a new breed of plant that he names “Audrey Two” after his co-worker crush. This R&B singing, carnivorous plant promises fame and fortune to the down-and-out Seymour as long as he keeps feeding it…blood! As Audrey Two grows bigger and meaner, Seymour discovers the plants extraterrestrial origins and its intent of global domination…but has he discovered this too late?
