      For those craving a little plant-based revenge on humanity, the cult musical Little Shop of Horrors is here to sate your thirst for eight nights under the stars.

      By Melanie Hooks

      Following a sold-out run of Grease, Altadena Musical Theatre presents Little Shop of Horrors as its second and final show of the season. Performances begin at 8 p.m. each evening in the company’s temporary, custom-built outdoor space at Mountain View Mausoleum. The upbeat musical with a dark twist runs Thursdays through Sundays, Sept. 3–13, 2026.

      Described as “a hilarious musical comedy packed with memorable characters, a wildly entertaining score, and one very hungry plant,” Little Shop of Horrors was one of Alan Menken’s first breakout hits—long before sea creatures and little princesses sang his original tunes for Disney.

      You can even pre-order dinner from Ferrazzani’s Picnic at the Show to enjoy before the performance.

      Tickets range from $40-$82.
