Lights Up! Goes Carnivore for Christmas 

The teen theatre company Lights Up! launches its seventh season with an unusual offering during the holiday season: the sci-fi horror romantic comedy/rock musical Little Shop of Horrors. An off-beat work from Howard Ashman and Alan Menken – better known for their Disney musicals The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, and Aladdin – Shop is the hilariously campy story of a timid down-on-his-luck floral assistant, Seymour, who is afflicted with a serious crush on his beautiful co-worker. Soon Seymour has to cope as well with a mysterious new plant that is incessantly hungry – for human flesh. The catchy show tunes underscore the delicate balance between spoof and sincerity, and Lights Up! is even employing professionally created puppets to portray the petulant plant, perfect for the cozy confines of the Center Stage Theater. Plays December 5-8.
