![]() The manipulative plant's motivations are a little less clear, but seem to involve eventual world domination. Ashman contributed memorable lyrics for more than a dozen songs, particularly "Don't It Go to Show Ya Never Know," "Call Back in the Morning," "Suddenly Seymour" and the iconic "Feed Me (Git It)." While the show veers away from the original movie in several aspects - including moving it from Los Angeles to New York City - it remains true to the spirit of the original, in which Seymour slowly is lured into committing murder to satisfy the unusual plant that is making him rich and famous. It was just the second collaboration for a team that would go on to create award-winning scores for Disney's "Beauty and the Beast" and "Aladdin." Menken's music for "Little Shop of Horrors" is a little bit Motown and a little bit '60s rock and roll. While the film was not a musical, it caught the eye of Menken and Ashman, who saw promise in the premise. Instead, this story of a boy and his killer plant slowly turned it into a cult classic during the 1960s and 1970s. But the black comedy's Faustian overtones - young Seymour essentially sells his soul to the evil plant in return for getting both fame and a shopgirl named Audrey - somehow kept "Little Shop" from simply disappearing like so many of Corman's quickie horror flicks. Shot in black and white with laughable special effects, its main redeeming feature was a memorable cameo by a young Jack Nicholson as a masochistic dental patient. "Little Shop of Horrors" is based on an old B-movie of the same name cranked out in 1960 by schlockmeister Roger Corman. Along with Totem Pole Playhouse's upcoming production of "Godspell," it is among the few remaining Broadway-style musicals that will hit central Pennsylvania stages this summer. This show, complete with a giant, singing carnivorous plant named Audrey II, runs only through Saturday at the professional summer stock theater. An excellent production of this tuneful 1982 show from the brilliant team of Alan Menken and the late Howard Ashman is currently on stage at Gretna Theatre in the small Lebanon County borough of Mount Gretna.
