Little Shop of Horrors: Photo Feature

Little Shop of Horrors, starring Brent Hill and Esther Hannaford, opens in Melbourne tonight for a limited three week run at the Comedy Theatre.

Produced by Luckiest Productions and Tinderbox Productions and directed by Dean Bryant and Andrew Hallsworth (the team behind the Helpmann Award winning revival of Sweet Charity), this gleefully gruesome musical combines an upbeat, doo wop Motown score, puppet wizardry and a wickedly talented Australian cast.

The brand new production opened at the Hayes Theatre Co in Sydney earlier this year before embarking on a national tour which includes venues in Adelaide, Brisbane, Canberra, Perth and Melbourne, with a return to Sydney for a stint at the Roslyn Packer Theatre, Walsh Bay. For more information, check out their Australian Music Theatre Database page.

Photographer Belinda Strodder snapped these fantastic production images today at the official Melbourne media call ahead of tonight’s gala opening.
