A show filled with a talking plant, singing, dancing, and music is about to be performed by the thespians of Silverton High School.
“Little Shop of Horrors” is a comedic musical, written by Howard Ashman and Alan Menken, filled with songs such as Suddenly Seymour, Somewhere That's Green, Dentist, and Skid Row.
“The show's about a man, Seymour, who finds a mysterious talking plant, which changes his luck for the better, or perhaps for the worst,” senior Gavin Know said.
Auditions for the show were held during the summer, so students have been able to rehearse since the first day of school.
“I wanted to audition for the show because it has amazing music, stupendous dialogue, and is very fun to be be in,” senior Casey Magis-Agosta said, who plays the lead role of Seymour. Students have been rehearsing everyday for around 2 hours, working to perfect the show for its upcoming opening night.
“Incorporating the music, singing, dancing, and orchestra, and trying to get them to look good, has been the hardest part,” Magis-Agosta said.
They've also been rehearsing to try to get into their characters.Knox, who plays Mr. Mushnik, said, “I have to try to remember to be old. I have to try to get into that mindset.”
When asked his favorite part of the show, Magis-Agosta said, “I don't want to spoil the show. People need to come see it.”
