The horror comedy classic “Little Shop of Horrors” opens at 7:30 p.m. Friday at the Des Moines Playhouse. See what happens when timid floral shop assistant Seymour Krelborn befriends a mysterious plant that’s quietly plotting to take over the world.

The show continues through July 30, with evening performances Wednesdays through Saturdays at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday matinees at 2 p.m. A pre-show talk starts 30 minutes before each performance.
