MHS Theatre Society Fall Musical: Little Shop of Horrors
November 22-24
What would you do if a plant offered you fame and fortune in exchange for human blood? For Seymour Krelbourn, the answer is simple. Give the plant what it wants.
Overtime, Audrey II begins to attract customers who are intrigued by its growing size. Yet, as the shop grows in popularity, so does the impending sense of doom filling the air. And, when people start going missing, this feeling is only heightened.
\Little did Seymour know that as Audrey II got more and more blood, it would also become more and more greedy. Ultimately, Seymour’s fate shows that there is a price to pay for exchanging your morals for profit. Especially when those profit margins slowly become smaller. LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS (BROADWAY VERSION) is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI). All authorized materials are also supplied by MTI. www.mtishows.com Licensed by MTI.

NEW FOR 2024!
In addition to our general admission community “long table” seating, we are offering 13 exclusive, premium tables on the upper level of the cafeteria.
For just $160, you can reserve an entire table for your group of up to 8 guests! This option allows you to enjoy a guaranteed seat together, complete with a reserved sign for your table. Whether you want to gather your best friends, or have room for extended family, this is the perfect way to enhance your musical dining experience. The premium tables are limited, so be sure to secure yours early.
And don’t worry—our general admission tickets will remain an affordable $10 per seat! Enjoy our delicious spaghetti dinner at long community tables on the lower level of the cafeteria. General seating will still be on a first-come, first-served basis, so arrive early to secure your spot! This event sells out quickly every year, and families are encouraged to buy their tickets early.
This event is brought to you by the Medfield Music Association and proceeds benefit the music program in all Medfield Public Schools.
