A revival of the 1982 musical Little Shop of Horrors is showing at Lighthouse Poole, directed by Martin Berry.

A revival of Little Shop of Horrors, the 1982 stage musical by Alan Menken and Howard Ashman, is showing at Lighthouse Poole. The production is directed by Martin Berry and is co-produced by Exeter Northcott Theatre, Lighthouse Poole and Coventry Belgrade Theatre, giving the Poole venue equity in the show and ability to shape it.

The musical originated as an off-Broadway hit before becoming a worldwide success, with a 1986 film adaptation by Frank Oz. This production has previously played in Exeter and will move to Coventry after its Poole run. The show features a live band positioned above the action and focuses on the staff of a struggling flower shop on Skid Row where a plant that feeds on human blood and flesh drives the plot.
