Little Shop of Horrors

Little Shop of Horrors
Book and Lyrics: Howard Ashman, Music: Alan Mencken. Director: Kate Foster. Bangalow Theatre Co. A & I Hall Bangalow. February 10th to 18th, 2017

Bangalow is a little town a few kms west of Byron Bay and this is only their second production.

Little Shop of Horrors was a popular choice judging from the capacity crowd and their reactions.

Director Kate Foster made good use of the limited facilities at her disposal and along with the Musical Director Margaret Curtis and Choreographer Anouska Gammon created a fun show for all the family.

The cast of Seymour, Brian Pamphilon; Audrey, Madeleine Lipson; Mushnik, Graeme Speed and the trio of Ronette, Lyanne Compton; Crystal, Bridie Duff; and Chiffon, Tia McQueen-Nelson, brought the story of the Man-eating plant, Audrey ll to life - in spite of the small acting areas available.

As Audrey ll grew, the clever use of projection showed the tentacles spreading across the set.

Unfortunately, the very warm evening made things difficult for the cast, however they persevered much to the appreciation of the audience.
