I have never seen Little Shop of Horrors. I haven't read it, and I have no idea whether or not I'm familiar with the music. A friend on FB posted something about her child's High School production, and in the photos the actors looked like school kids. I have no idea if the actors were being school kids, or playing school kids.

In about a month, I'll find out.

As a newly minted Geva Cohort, over the next few months I am invited to observe the production of professional theater and, in exchange for the privilege, write about the experience. First up: the musical Little Shop of Horrors; next, the world premier of dramedey Women in Jeopardy.

Shopping, first. The professional thing to do would be to go into the first read-through having read the work and listened to the score. But how many people have my perspective? EVERYONE knows Little Shop of Horrors, right? So I'll go in, cold, and share the experience from a perfectly clean slate. Ready? I am.

You are going to love the experience and both shows. Sean Daniels is a wonderfully creative and supportive director and you'll enjoy watching his process.

I agree with Maggie....a wonderful experience to watch a show come together. And, once you see the final production it will be so much better because you have seen all the "let's try it this way" and "let's try it that way." And, I am looking forward to reading your comments too, because I think you will have a great perspective that others who think they "know" the show won't have. Enjoy.
