Meet Seymour, a floral assistant with big dreams who discovers a peculiar plant he names "Audrey II." This foul-mouthed, R&B-singing carnivore promises fame and fortune in exchange for... BLOOD. As Seymour becomes entangled in a web of dark desires, he uncovers Audrey II's sinister origins and its plan for world domination. With a doo-wop score that’ll have you humming and a plot that spirals into outrageous hilarity, this cult classic proves that when you mix ambition with a plant that sings and eats people, the results are absolutely to die for!

This isn’t your grandma’s fairy tale! Hold onto your crowns because, with six dwarves missing and a royal attitude, Snow White takes the stage alongside Dwarf Four (the one no one ever remembers). Expect a zany game of dress-up and plenty of “who’s who” confusion as the two actors hilariously juggle characters and uncover the true story behind the fairytale.
