A flower shop full of secrets is coming our way this May 8-11.

Little Shop of Horrors, that iconic and campy show is coming to the Aberdeen High School stage for four days ending this Mother’s Day weekend, and it is a no-miss hit.

This musical comedy, based on Roger Corman’s semi-obscure 1960s film, was itself turned into a film in 1986 and starred the amazing comedians we loved from Saturday Night Live. The musical version debuted on Broadway in 2003. Aberdeen’s version is a bit more cleaned up, but still guaranteed to tickle your funny bone.

Little Shop of Horrors is a story about a boy, a girl and a plant — well, almost. It does take some deviations down the paths of an extraterrestrial plant bent on taking over the world, and a sadistic dentist (everyone’s nightmare).

“This year’s cast is extremely talented — with many having won state honors for their musicianship and scholarship,” shares director Maria Manning. “Every minute is action packed and I promise you will be thoroughly entertained.”

Little Shop of Horrors will be performed May 8-10 at 7 p.m. and May 11 at 3 p.m. in the Aberdeen High School auditorium. Tickets are $10 for students and children and $15 for adults.

The cast:

Adisyn Jones, Alexea Brown, Angel Covault, Arabella Emery, Dylan Brown, Gabriella Abruscato, Hades Walker, Ivy Thorp, Jacob Hammer, Jailynn Burgher, Jonathan Bullard, Jordan Flannigan, Joshua Collings, Judith Light, Kieran Church, Kyliann Flink, Macie Leach, Madeline Casey, Makenna Montoure, Preston Williams, Rylee Brown, Sheridan Zwart, Simon Jeffery, Tyler Ellis, Tyvaeh Nicholson, Vida Powell, Vivian Choate and Xandra Brown
