Description

Little Shop of Horrors: A Cultural History of the Monster Musical This book chronicles the unlikely phenomenon of Little Shop of Horrors, from its humble origins as a low-budget film to its global success as a musical. Examining the creation of the show and its place in contemporary musical theatre, Attack of the Monster Musical explores why this unusual combination of blood, annihilation, and catchy tunes has resonated with audiences over the years. At the heart of the book is the collaboration between the show's creators, Howard Ashman and Alan Menken. Through archival research and eyewitness accounts, including extensive use of Ashman's personal papers, this study offers a unique insight into one of musical theatre's greatest talents. By examining the afterlives of Little Shop of Horrors and its wider cultural context, this book asks what makes this unlikely combination so enduringly popular.
