The musical "Little Shop of Horrors" centers around a young man named Seymour who works at a flower shop in the poor part of the city. Seymour has found a very strange and interesting plant, and soon after Seymour and the shop start to become very prosperous. Seymour also has a crush on his coworker, Audrey, but she has a boyfriend- one of those boyfriends that beats up their girl and keeps her within his grasp. As Seymour becomes more and more famous, he also gets more attention from Audrey. However, there's a catch. The plant (named Audrey II) grows on blood and only blood, and as the plant grows it begins talk. Having a creative mind, Audrey II encourages Seymour to kill Audrey's boyfriend and feed the body to him, thus giving Audrey more happiness and making the plant grow even bigger. Seymour goes through with it.
In the second act, Audrey falls in love with Seymour through the song "Suddenly Seymour." Here is a video of it performed by my high school's production.
I think it's a pretty great song- definitely the most popular one from the show. From here on out the show culminates into a fight between love and money, and sacrifices from every character.
