book and lyrics by HOWARD ASHMAN, music by ALAN MENKEN, based on the film by ROGER CORMAN, screenplay by CHARLES GRIFFITH; directed and choreographed by MARCIA MILGROM DODGE
A frightfully funny musical
On Skid Row, Mr. Mushnik plans to shutter his failing florist shop when his timid staffer Seymour presents an exotic-but-wilted flytrap named Audrey II. Convinced it will boost business, Seymour encourages Mr. Mushnik to display the peculiar plant, which Seymour successfully revives. As Audrey II draws much-needed crowds to the shop, Seymour makes a disturbing discovery: It needs fresh blood (and lots of it) to grow — a secret that forces Seymour into a Faustian bargain to keep his fame and fortune intact. A hilarious mashup of science fiction, horror and musical theater, this cult classic boasts Motown-inspired hits like “Feed Me (Git It),” “Suddenly, Seymour” and “Little Shop of Horrors.”
The Guthrie’s relaxed (or Sensory Friendly) performances, open to all patrons, are intentionally modified to accommodate patrons with sensory and vestibular sensitivities, anxiety, dementia, autism spectrum disorders, learning differences or challenges attending the theater.

About the Show
July 12 - August 11, 2024
KINKY BOOTS is a Tony-winning musical that tells the uplifting story of Charlie Price, a struggling shoemaker who inherits his family's failing business. Desperate to save the factory, Charlie teams up with Lola, a fabulous and fierce drag queen, to create a line of high-heeled boots for men. As they work together, Charlie and Lola discover the power of acceptance, self-expression, and the transformative power of a good pair of shoes.
With music and lyrics by Cyndi Lauper and a book by Harvey Fierstein, KINKY BOOTS is a joyful celebration of diversity, courage, and the universal human desire to be true to oneself. From its catchy tunes like "The Sex Is in the Heel" to its heartwarming finale, the show will inspire you to walk tall and be proud of who you are.
