Way Off Broadway Theatre's latest production - Little Shop of Horrors, is scheduled for opening night this Thursday at 7:30 p.m. at the Performing Arts Center in Prattville. After a sneak preview, all I can say is "wow"! This is a very energetic, entertaining show that is just this side of "quirky", must like the original! Under the direction of Todd Arron and Stacey Little, the ensemble is the embodiment of the original production. Several great voices shine in the musical numbers, enough to give chills to those who listen.

Tickets are a little more expensive than the usual theatre's offering but worth every penny. This is by far the group's most elaborate set, complete with a giant "Venus Fly Trap" which sports a very nasty attitude. Tickets can be purchased at People's Bank in downtown Prattville during reguarl banking hours. They are priced $10 in advance and $12 at the door. Call the bank for more information at 361-3029. Play dates are: July 26-29, August 3-5 and 10-12. Evening performances begin at 7:30 and Sunday matinees at 2:00 p.m.

Little Shop is a little over the top, as it is meant to be played and WOBT does a great job in delivering a quality production. You don't want to miss it.
