Little Shop of Horrors
If you’re a fan of dark comedy you’ll love the smash hit musical ‘Little Shop of Horrors’, a fun and family friendly performance with lots of singing and dancing. Little Shop of Horrors is based on the iconic movie about a feeble guy and his talking carnivorous plant, and their absurd descent into power and greed. This act has plenty of ‘show style’ tunes to counter its freaky plot with the students of Dubai Performing Arts adding plenty of fun energy to their dancing and acting – a true theatre treat for all!
