If there’s one thing we need to end 2020 it’s a foul-mouthed, smooth-talking, R&B-singing, man eating plant and a rocking good night out.

Nelson Musical Theatre is proud to present this iconic and cult classic musical to end their 2020 season.

Join accidental hero Seymour and the gutsy yet adorable Audrey as they fight for love, their lives and the very future of planet earth!
