Bloomsbury presents Attack of the Monster Musical by Adam Abraham, read by Christopher Ragland.

How many hit musicals are based on films that were shot in two days at a budget of $30,000? The answer is one: Little Shop of Horrors. Roger Corman's monster movie opened in 1960, played the midnight circuit, and then disappeared from view. Two decades later, Little Shop of Horrors opened Off-Broadway and became a surprise success.

Attack of the Monster Musical: A Cultural History of Little Shop of Horrors chronicles this unlikely phenomenon. The Faustian tale of Seymour and his man-eating plant transcended its humble origins to become a global phenomenon, launching a popular film adaptation and productions all around the world. This timely and authoritative book looks at the creation of the musical and its place in the contemporary musical theatre canon. Examining its afterlives and wider cultural context, the book asks the question why this unlikely combination of blood, annihilation, and catchy tunes has resonated with audiences from the 1980s to the present.

At the core of this in-depth study is the collaboration between the show’s creators, Howard Ashman and Alan Menken. Told through archival research and eyewitness accounts, this is the first book to make extensive use of Ashman's personal papers, offering a unique and inspiring study of one of musical theatre's greatest talents.©2022 Adam Abraham (P)2026 Bloomsbury Publishing PLC

批評家のレビュー

Meticulously researched … really gets to the heart of what made this production tick.
Adam Abraham writes in breathtaking detail about the making of Little Shop of Horrors, the enduring and beloved musical that launched the careers of Howard Ashman and Alan Menken – two immortals who lit up the skies.
It's a must-read for any fan of musical theater, horror, or horticulture.
Insightful, detailed, and just a purely fantastic read.
"Full of wonderful details, little-known facts, and great storytelling, this is the amazing history of the little film that became the musical that ate the world! It brought back so many memories of the show that changed my life."
