Virginia Theatre Festival’s season takes a mad twist with the wonderfully weird stage adaptation of the black comedy film Little Shop of Horrors. In the sci-fi story, a flower shopkeeper named Seymour discovers a plant thirsty for blood while he schemes to win over his love interest, Audrey. The new succulent breed presents itself as the perfect ploy to impress his crush in this gushing love tale. Laugh, smile, and scream at this classic musical that has thrilled audiences since the ’60s.
Through 7/21. $15–35. Culbreth Theatre, 109 Culbreth Rd. virginiatheatrefestival.org
