Home / Campus News / Get ready to laugh as JC brings ‘Little Shop of Horrors’ to stage
Jackson College invites the community to enjoy a wildly entertaining evening of musical comedy when the Potter Center presents “Little Shop of Horrors”on Dec. 4-6 in the Michael Baughman Theatre.
The beloved cult classic follows Seymour Krelborn, a down-on-his-luck floral assistant who discovers Audrey II, a strange and exotic plant that brings fame, fortune and the possibility of romance to a struggling flower shop. There is just one problem: Audrey II has an insatiable appetite for human blood, and its growing hunger soon spirals out of control.
Audiences will enjoy infectious 1960s-inspired rock, doo-wop and Motown hits, including favorites such as “Feed Me!” and “Suddenly, Seymour,” performances accompanied by a pit orchestra featuring both students and community musicians. The crew has created an amazing set and puppet, a pivotal character for the production!
“We have 60 people involved in this production, including students, community members and staff,” said director Sara Anne Tomczak. “Designers, performers, crew members, painters, puppeteers, dancers, musicians, student marketing, and so many more artists are working together to bring this masterpiece to the stage. There are gorgeous elements we’ve added to this comedy. This isn’t your usual musical…we have a spinning set and over 10-foot-tall talking plant! Audiences can expect plenty of laughs and an unforgettable experience overall.”
Tomczak shares that the production is recommended for audiences age 13 and older (PG-13) due to language, adult themes, and violence.
Performances will be 7 p.m. Friday, Dec. 4 and Saturday, Dec. 5, and 2 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 6. Tickets are $18 for general admission, $5 for Jackson College students. Tickets are available through the Potter Center Box Office, 517.796.8600 or jccmi.edu/potter-center.
“We produce shows that bring joy to our campus and community. All are welcome to join our JC theatre family…and our “family” include our audience!”
Little Shop of Horrors (Broadway Version) is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI).
Enjoy a wildly entertaining musical comedy as Seymour’s strange plant, Audrey II, brings fame and romance to a flower shop, with one catch: it craves human blood. Featuring classic rock, doo-wop and Motown hits, a live band and spectacular puppetry, this is a show audiences won’t want to miss. Just remember: don’t feed the plant!
