This hilarious musical, based off of the 1960 movie, is cosmic fun for the whole family. With toe tapping tunes and a carnivorous alien planet, this show is sure to entertain.Ithaca College alum, Steve Pacek, returns to the Hangar stage as Seymore Krelborn, store clerk at Mr. Mushnick's (David Studwell) flower shop on Skid Row. Seymour finds new found fame and fortune after discovering a plant that is out of this world. The plant, Audrey II, is named after Seymour's crush and co-worker Audrey (Isabel Santiago). While the plant brings new opportunities to Seymore and the flower shop, it does not come without cost.

The show is brought to life with the help of Stephanie Card, Assistant Choreographer and Associate Director Scott Hitz who is doubling as a puppeteer mentor.
