A-Team Productions presents the hit comedy musical, Little Shop of Horrors
After years of producing shows in the capital, Edinburgh’s youth musical theatre charity are taking the plunge, and performing in their first ever Fringe!
Downtown New York is the setting for our tale of good versus evil, where Seymour – a nerdy florist’s assistant – fights for the survival of mankind against a giant plant with a macabre craving.
Throw in a love story, sadistic dentistry and the bucolic grounds of George Watson’s College and the (outdoor!) stage is set for a journey through the lives of the residents of Skid Row, in the cult horror/comedy/rock musical with music by Alan Menken and book and lyrics by Howard Ashman.
Enjoy an evening of hit songs including, “Skid Row”, “Dentist!” and “Suddenly Seymour”.
Our cast of 11-19 year olds have been rehearsing online, and in person, in what has been our most challenging but exciting production period yet. Our dedicated team of volunteers have been busy building puppets, a weatherproof set, designing a visually stunning lighting show and creating stadium worthy sound.
The Production will take place from the 9th – 14th August 2021 with shows every evening at 7.45pm and a matinee on Monday (9th) and Saturday (14th) at 2.45.
Jackie our director had this to say: ‘We are really grateful to be back in the rehearsal room, doing what we love. The cast are tremendous and they have the support of an experienced production team.
“We are pulling out all the stops to ensure that our audience experience a unique and memorable version of Little Shop of Horrors. After the hardships of the last year and a half we all need some fun and our show has plenty of that”
“Putting on an outdoor performance presents unique challenges for the team but it will all be worth it when we have an audience enjoying theatre again. We have already had a lot of positive feedback from the young people involved, who love being back performing.”
Come rain (please, no…!) or shine, our cast will be out there singing and dancing, so as the sun sets over Skid Row, sip a glass of fizz, beer (or orange juice) and soak up the atmosphere, as our cast and live band perform in this musical theatre masterpiece.
