In the play, the meek floral assistant Seymour Krelborn stumbles across a new breed of plant he names "Audrey II" - after his coworker crush. This foul-mouthed, R&B-singing carnivore promises unending fame and fortune to the down and out Krelborn as long as he keeps feeding it BLOOD.
Over time, though, Seymour discovers Audrey II's out of this world's origins and intent toward global domination.
Jeremiah Jackson, who has done several shows at Campbellsville University who is a student at Northern Kentucky University, plays Seymour; and Jenny Kawa, who has also done several shows at Campbellsville University, most notably in "Shrek" as Fiona, is his coworker, Audrey.
