Its a tricky dilemma--how do you stage a piece of theatre that has been produced countlessecttimes before Im not attempting to say that Little Shop of Horror~is Shakespeare or the Greeks but it has been done a lot A LOT This famWarity oft~n leads to a pressure to

take the piece and rework it Wheit I first decided to direct Little Shop (or LSOH) people kept asking me what I was going to do with it I would say Im doing LSOH and they would repeat Yes but what are you going to do with it Over the years there has seemed to be an underlying competition between productions of this showmiddot how lifeshylike and spectacular can the plant be How thick and cartoonlsh can Audreys accent become How much like the movie musical can this piece of theatre be What we wanted to accomplish with this production was the exact opposite--from the start our team has set out to return to the heart of the story The performers have been extremely supportive of this idea and plunged into intense work with the script and score finding the emotion of each individual moment and working to develop something at least partially real within an environment that seems in many ways absurd

I have been incredibly lucky to work with both a cast and creative team in which each member is unbelievably creative responsible and passionate about his or her individual position With their support my focus has been able to rest solely on storytelling finding the core aspects of LSOH I truly believe that not every restaging of a theatrical work has to approach it frorn a new angle (although sometimes it does fantastically) It is the main job of any production to tell the story in the best way possible and this is what we have worked towards Now I ask of you the audience the same thing that I have continually asked of the production team and cast put aside your ideas of what this piece should be and allow yourselves simply to watch engage and enjoy For those of you who already know LSOH I hope you fall in love all over again as I have For fIrst-timers youre in for a treat Thank you to everyone who has contributed to this production It has been a onceshyin-a-lifetime collaboration for me and I ~axe been affected and inspired by all of your brilliance Enjoy the show and thank you for your support
