My son, Tim, and his family invited me to their home near Kansas City this week to see another fine theatrical production at the KC Rep Theatre on the campus of the University of Missouri at Kansas City. The musical "Little Shop of Horrors" had a "pre-opening night" performance at the Spencer Theatre, the place where our family heads each winter to see the KC Rep's holiday presentation of "A Christmas Carol."
Last night's show was flawless and fun. The cast, several of whom had regional and national credits including Broadway, knew how to tread the boards, belt out songs, and engage the audience in what was a heckuva fine performance. The set was brilliant, and the special effects and puppetry were first rate. Just watching Audrey II slowly devour the cast is well worth the very reasonable price of admission - she is a true theatrical treasure!
"Little Shop," as interpreted and performed by the KC Rep, is an extremely good production and one that theatre-goers in the Kansas City area definitely should not miss. The musical runs through May 19th.
