FEED ME, SEYMOUR!

Riding high on the excitement of our 2025 ASL-infused hit, "The Rocky Horror Show," the Little Theatre of Manchester and Connecticut Deaf Theatre are together again to serve up a fully accessible, ASL-infused production of the deviously delicious "LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS."

Step into the shoes of gentle Seymour Krelborn, a hapless flower shop assistant whose luck changes when he stumbles upon a peculiar plant with a taste for blood. Dubbed "Audrey II" after his secret crush, this rapidly growing botanical oddity tempts Seymour with dreams of stardom...as long as he keeps feeding its insatiable appetite.

From the infectious rhythms of the doo-wop street chorus to the escapades of a sinister dentist, this botanical thriller bursts onto the stage in a dazzling fusion of English and American Sign Language. This cult classic sci-fi musical promises even more color, energy, and accessibility for all.

What does "ASL-infused" mean?

Everything will be signed and voiced onstage together — there's not only sign language onstage nor is it just the voiced actors onstage with interpreters supporting them.

The signing will occur onstage with the actors. This is different from a "shadow cast" where the voice is primary and the ASL interpreter follows the action onstage interpreting for the voice. This show contains full accessibility onstage at all times. 

I'm Deaf - will I be able to fully understand the show?

Yes! This show is all about inclusivity and our co-directing team have worked together to ensure full access at all times for our Deaf and hard of hearing audience members. 

I'm hearing - will I be able to fully understand the show?

Yes! Everything is sung/spoken in English as well as signed. This is a unique experience that EVERYONE can appreciate and learn from. 

Is there assigned seating for accessibility?

No, we've made an effort to make sure all seats are accessible; however, if you do not need visual proximity in order to understand the show, we ask that you do not sit in the first few rows to allow for others that may.
