Nambour State High School - 75 years and going strong

Nambour State High School is set to rock the community with its latest musical: Little Shop of Horrors

Come and see one strange and exotic Plant ….  But be careful …… She Bites

Nambour State High School is set to soar in their latest spectacular musical production:  Little Shop of Horrors. The show is set to roar onto the stage in late May 2012.  The cast and staff have been working very hard getting ready for this exciting performance.

Little Shop of Horrors is a comedy horror rock musical, bycomposer  Alan Menken and writer Howard Ashman, about a hapless florist shop worker who raises a plant that feeds on human blood. The music, composed by Menken in the style of early 1960s  rock and roll and roll, doo-wop and early Motown,  includes several well-known tunes, including the title song, "Skid Row (Downtown)", "Somewhere That's Green", and "Suddenly, Seymour".

In addition to the original long-running 1982 off-Broadway production and subsequent  Broadway production, the musical has been performed all over the world.

Nambour State High School will put its own stamp on this wonderful production with a show that is designed to stun with fantastic choreography, wonderful sets and costumes and a live rock band. The leads and ensemble have been well cast to ensure a show stopping production.

The school has an outstanding history of excellent musicals including:  Man of Steel, Wolfstock, Bye Bye Birdie, The Wiz, Grease and Peter Pan.  All of these musicals have been very successful with sold out seasons.  This musical looks to be no different with rehearsals well into full swing.
The school is currently housing the ‘giant’ Audrey 11 plant.  She is certainly one “Green mother from outer space”.This is also the name of one of her leading songs.  She is certainly worth seeing; Audrey II is one ‘strange and exotic plant’.   The plant has currently moved to Nambour after having the starring role to rapturous applause in a production in Sydney.

So set the dates in your diary for a fantastic, fun night of theatre as Nambour State High School takes you on another one of their musical extravaganzas.  This show has something for everyone and certainly not to be missed.  There will be a number of school matinees on Tuesday the 29thof May and Wednesday the 30th of May. Please contact Peg Anderson on 54504123 for all school bookings. The night performances for this production will be on the Thursday the  31st of May, Friday the 1st of June and the Saturday the 2nd of June.

The cast and crew and Audrey 2 are looking forward to seeing you at the show.
