Tyne Theatre Productions return!
Little Shop
of Horrors
Newcastle
Tyne Theatre & Opera House
Thursday 9th
– Saturday 11th March 2017
After the recent success of Oklahoma!
in November 2016, which followed on from previous successes Sweeney Todd in
March 2016 and The Pirates of Penzance in September 2015, we are thrilled to
announce that Tyne Theatre Productions will return in March 2017 with Little Shop of Horrors.
One
of the longest-running Off-Broadway shows of all time, this affectionate spoof
of 1950's sci-fi movies has become a house-hold name, thanks to a highly
successful film version and a score by the songwriting team of Howard Ashman
and Alan Menken. Charming and tuneful with tongue firmly planted in cheek,
Little Shop of Horrors never fails to entertain.
Tyne
Theatre Productions is part of Tyne Theatre and Opera House Preservation Trust
(Charity Number 1120746). Funds raised
from this performance will contribute to the preservation and future
restoration of the Grade 1 listed Victorian Opera House.
Joanne
Johnson, Director of Tyne Theatre & Opera House says: “I’m thrilled with the ongoing success of
Tyne Theatre Productions and the wonderful shows they have produced to raise
funds for our Grade 1 listed theatre. It couldn’t be done without the hard work
and dedication of our volunteers. I’m very excited that they will be staging
Little Shop of Horrors as their next production, it’s such a youthful and
kitschy show that appeals to all ages, and it’s bound to be lots of fun!”
