Aloha, Kihei Rent A Car customers! If you’re seeking an entertaining evening during your Maui stay, we highly recommend attending the upcoming production of “Little Shop of Horrors” at ProArts Playhouse.
About the Show:
“Little Shop of Horrors” is a renowned sci-fi musical that has captivated audiences for over three decades. Created by Howard Ashman and Alan Menken—celebrated for their work on Disney classics like “The Little Mermaid,” “Beauty and the Beast,” and “Aladdin”—the musical tells the intriguing tale of Seymour Krelborn, a timid floral assistant. Seymour discovers a peculiar plant, affectionately naming it “Audrey II” after his secret crush and co-worker. This R&B-singing carnivorous plant promises Seymour fame and fortune but demands a dark price—human blood. As Seymour grapples with Audrey II’s escalating demands, he uncovers the plant’s sinister extraterrestrial origins and its plans for global domination.
