FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Peterborough Players’ Little Shop of Horrors
High Energy Fun for the Whole Family!
 

Peterborough, NH (July 22, 2009) – Little Shop of Horrors, a musical comedy with book and lyrics by Howard Ashman, music by Alan Menken, opens at the Peterborough Players professional theatre on July 29th. The show, which runs through August 16th, is a zany spoof of 1950s sci-fi movies. An engaging, foot-tapping, rock-and-roll musical score is coupled with an outrageous plot to create a night of pure summer fun.

Little Shop, which was the third-longest running musical in Off-Broadway history, has a good time satirizing everything from science fiction, ‘B’ movies, and even musical comedy itself. The talented cast - starring Kraig Swartz, Pamela Bob, Michael Page, and Joshua Finkel - promises to keep audiences laughing from start to finish. Directed by Peggy Hickey with Musical Director/Pianist Michael Sebastian, the Peterborough Players is delighted to bring Little Shop to its historic theatre for the first time.
