Message from the Drury Lane Board of Directors:

As Drury Lane enters its 47 th year as Burlington’s premiere musical theatre company, Little Shop of Horrors offers music composed by Alan Menken in the style of early 1960s rock and roll, doo-wop and early Motown that includes several well-known tunes, including the title song, “Skid Row (Downtown)”, “Somewhere That’s Green”, and “Suddenly, Seymour”. The musical premiered Off-Off-Broadway in 1982 before moving to the Orpheum Theatre  Off-Broadway , where it had a five-year run. Add our signature 41 st Music Hall and a family classic musical, Spring 2021 Musical (licensed to Drury Lane with an advertising restriction until Nov 23 rd , 2020) rounding out the season and you can imagine a sense of comedy rock combined with a wonderfully endearing musical having a strangely gentle charm. Our Christmas pantomime, Aladdin an Aspects of Dance production in collaboration with Drury Lane brings families back to a tradition that forges childhood theatre memories for a lifetime. Enjoy!

  • Gold Club is a VIP Experience hosted the second Saturday in each run for the Fall, Winter and Spring productions.
