BAD GIRLS
(and the men who love them)
Kim Mihalik and Michael Caraffi are teaming up once again to present an entertaining look at the "bad girls" of Broadway and the men in their lives. Performances will be June 13 and 14 at Elyria High School Auditorium.
Our Exciting 2008 Musical!
LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS is a 1982 Off-Broadway musical black comedy by composer Alan Menken and writer Howard Ashman, about a nerdy florist shop worker who raises a plant that feeds on human blood. The musical was based on the low-budget 1960 black comedy The Little Shop of Horrors, directed by Roger Corman. The musical score, composed by Menken in the style of 1960's rock and roll, doo-wop and early Motown, included several show-stoppers including "Skid Row," "Somewhere That's Green," and "Suddenly Seymour," as well as the title song.
