Get ready for a wildly entertaining theatrical experience as Highline Musical Theatre brings the beloved cult classic Little Shop of Horrors to the stage this summer.

💡
The show is recommended for ages 12 and older. Parents should be aware that the production contains themes of domestic and emotional abuse, drug use and addiction (laughing gas), profanity, suggestive dialogue, and comic horror violence, including characters being harmed and consumed by a man-eating plant. While presented in a campy, satirical style, some material may not be suitable for younger audiences.
Whether you're a longtime fan or seeing it for the first time, Little Shop of Horrors promises an evening of laughter, memorable music, and delightfully twisted fun.
Tickets are available now. Be sure to reserve your seats early for one of the summer's most entertaining musical productions.
