The show’s music, composed by Alan Menken in early 1960s rock and roll, doo-wop and Motown styles, includes several well-known tunes ... and as the play goes on, the plant steadily grows bigger and hungrier, eating one character after another. Tickets to see the show are $15 for the afternoon matinee or $25 for adults, $20 for pensioners and $15 for children for the evening performance, and they'll be available at the door.
