An evil alien plant and a no-hoper nerd – it can only be smash hit musical Little Shop of Horrors.

Wolverhampton College students are performing the show at the Wulfrun Hall from June 29 to July 1 having been rehearsing since January.

It features a brand new plant, known as Audrey 2, from the puppeteers who provided props for the recent production of the same musical at the Birmingham Repertory Theatre.

The students involved are in their second year studying the National Diploma in Performing Arts.

Director Simon Parker said: “Everyone is very excited about the show and we hope to continue the excellent standard set by previous year’s productions.”

Doors open at 7pm nightly, with the curtain going up at 7.30pm.

Tickets are priced £5 and £4 for concessions. To book call 0870 320 7000 or go to www.wolvescivic.co.uk
