A cult musical becomes a colorful nightmare full of longing at MiR

Name: The Little Shop of Horrors

A cult musical grows into a macabre temptation at MiR

With The Little Shop of Horrors, a musical classic returns to Gelsenkirchen, combining black humor, catchy songs, and a grotesquely beautiful love story into a stage experience that is both biting and touching. On June 14, 2026, the Little House at the Music Theatre in the Revier will open its doors for a production that brings Seymour, Audrey, and the gluttonous plant Audrey II into vivid stage light. The official MiR production page cites Alan Menken and Howard Ashman as the musical basis, and the story is based on the Roger Corman film from 1960; directed by Carsten Kirchmeier.

When the stage becomes a strip of images

The Gelsenkirchen production relies on a cinematic look and transforms the Little House into a real strip of images. The stage and costumes are designed by Beata Kornatowska, giving the puppet character Audrey II visible body, presence, and menace. It is in this interplay of acting, musicality, and precise dramaturgy that the piece unfolds its unique theatrical atmosphere: funny at first, eerie the next moment, and always with that quirky energy that makes cult musicals unforgettable.

Love, megalomania, and an insatiable hunger

At the center is the shy Seymour, who suddenly connects his hopes for success, recognition, and love with a mysterious plant. The piece virtuously plays with the contrast between tender longing and bloody taboos. This is precisely where The Little Shop of Horrors draws its theatrical power: as a musical with wit, as a satire on aspirations, and as a colorful parable on seduction and self-loss. The official description promises a quirky play about love, dreams, and megalomania.

MiR as a fitting resonant space

The Music Theatre in the Revier has been one of the distinctive theatre buildings of the post-war era since its opening in 1959 and offers an intimate framework for precise stage art with the Little House. The venue has about 325 seats in the Little House; access is via the Willi-Müller-Platz to the left of the Main House. This is an advantage for visitors: short distances, immediate proximity to the stage, and a condensed audience reaction, which makes a difference, especially during musical evenings.

An evening for musical fans with a sense of the quirky

Anyone who engages in this stage experience will not encounter a mere nostalgia evening, but a lively piece of music theatre with dynamic direction, pointed ensemble playing, and that mix of trash and depth that has made the work so beloved for decades. MiR thus relies on material that still feels fresh in its originality, wit, and dark elegance. Those who love musicals with character should experience this event live.
