Little Shop of Horrors Reviews
The Boston Globe- Highly Recommended
"...For “Little Shop” to register with all its cheesy charm, it helps to have a director and a cast who understand where that charm comes from. They have to be willing and able to entirely throw themselves into the deranged spirit of the thing. (That’s sort of a threshold requirement for the audience too.) NSMT director Bob Richard and his cast prove willing, and quite able, to deliver the goods in this musical tale of botanical mayhem. Richard makes copious use of NSMT’s rotating stage, underscoring the atmosphere of events spinning out of control (as well as, obviously, adjusting for the theater-in-the-round configuration of the Beverly playhouse)."
New England Theater Mirror- Highly Recommended
"...Little Shop of Horrors, now playing at the North Shore Music Theatre, is the rarest of modern musicals. Unlike the recent Broadway trend of taking a good (or at least popular) movie and turning it into a bad musical, Little Shop transforms a very bad movie – but supremely campy cult favorite – and turns it into a very good musical. Combining an early 60’s inspired rock ‘n roll score and an absurd but very funny plot, it’s the very definition of a musical comedy."
