• Tickets are now on sale for the Unionville High School production of “Little Shop of Horrors” scheduled for 7 p.m. March 14-16. A cast of over 60 students brings this unique sci-fi musical comedy to life. The music, by master composer Alan Menken, is in the style of 1960s rock and roll, doo-wop and early Motown and includes several well-known tunes such as "Suddenly Seymour" and "Somewhere That's Green." The plot follows nerdy floral shop worker Seymour who would do or give anything to gain the love of his co-worker Audrey. The depth of his desire is tested when a strange and menacing addition to his floral shop brings him sudden and unexpected popularity. Tickets are available online at www.showtix4u.com. Prices are $12 in advance, $14 at the door and $12 students/seniors.
