He sets up a late-night appointment with Orin, intending to kill him. Not realizing that he is being manipulated again, Seymour gives in to his baser instincts and agrees (“Feed Me (Git It)”). The plant presents this as a justification for killing Orin. Seymour initially refuses, but he then witnesses Orin abusing Audrey. It demands blood and promises that, if fed, it will make sure that all of Seymour’s dreams come true. When Seymour stops feeding the plant, Audrey II reveals that it can speak. However, Seymour is having difficulty providing enough blood to keep Audrey II healthy. Having always wanted a family, Seymour accepts, even though Mushnik has always yelled at him and treated him poorly (“Mushnik and Son”).

Realizing that his store’s sudden profitability is completely dependent on the plant (and therefore on Seymour), Mushnik takes advantage of Seymour’s innocence by offering to adopt him and make him a full partner in the business. Knowing that the plant is worth a fortune, Orin encourages Seymour to take the plant and get out of Skid Row. Modeled after the “Leader of the pack” characters of the 1950s, Orin drives a motorcycle, wears leather, and enjoys bringing other people pain (“Dentist!”). We then meet Orin Scrivello, a sadistic dentist, who happens to be Audrey’s abusive boyfriend. Meanwhile, the employees at Mushnik’s Flower Shop are sprucing up because of the popularity of the rapidly growing Audrey II and the revenue that it is bringing in (“Closed for Renovation”). Her dream is to lead an ideal suburban life with Seymour, complete with a tract home, frozen dinners, and plastic on the furniture (“Somewhere That’s Green”). As the caretaker of the plant, the timid Seymour is suddenly regarded as a hero (“Ya Never Know”), while Audrey secretly longs to leave her abusive boyfriend. As Audrey II grows, it becomes an attraction and starts generating brisk business for Mushnik. Seymour realizes that Audrey II requires blood to survive and allows the plant to suckle from his finger (“Grow For Me”). He accidentally pricks his finger on a rose thorn, which draws blood, and Audrey II’s pod opens thirstily. Seymour questions why it should be doing poorly, since he takes such good care of it. Mushnik forces Seymour to nurse the dying plant back to health. Unfortunately, the plant does not thrive in its new environment and appears to be dying. Mushnik tells Seymour to keep the plant in the window.

Seeing this as a golden opportunity to finally make some money, Mr. After being delighted by Seymour’s story, the gentleman decides to buy $100 worth of roses, much to the surprise and delight of Seymour, Audrey, and Mr.

Seymour, who is secretly in love with Audrey, names the plant Audrey II in her honor. Seymour tells the gentleman that while he was browsing the wholesale flower district, a sudden total eclipse of the sun occurred, and when the light returned, the weird plant had appeared (“Da-Doo”). As luck would have it, a well dressed gentleman walks into the store after seeing the plant in the window. He believes the plant, if prominently displayed in the store’s front window, might attract business. Seymour has recently obtained a mysterious plant that looks like a large venus flytrap. They are co-workers at Mushnik’s Skid Row Florists, a run-down flower shop owned and operated by the cranky Mr. They lament their stations in life and the urban blight in their neighborhood (“Skid Row (Downtown)”). Audrey is a pretty blonde with a fashion sense that leans towards the tacky. Seymour Krelborn is a poor young man, an orphan living in an urban skid row. A trio of 1960s street urchins named Crystal, Ronette, and Chiffon set the scene (“Little Shop of Horrors”) and comment on the action throughout the show.
