Survey says, "What a fun show!" And I agree. We saw one of the first preview performances, and overall it was a great, fun, springtime show. Built on the backs of a small ensemble, Little Shop delivered some great voices, with special nods to the husband and wife duo, Christopher Kale Jones and Jenna Coker-Jones that brought Seymour and Audrey to life; some great laugh-out-loud moments not least of which was the belting of "Dentist!"; and some morbid hilarity in the form of the giant "Audrey II" plant manned by two separate puppeteers! All in all, it was a cute, funny (if not a little morose) production of an old favorite.

The theater itself reveals little of what it was in Lincoln's days, having been renovated many times over the years. But the Presidential box remains, roped off and vacant, paying homage to our fallen leader. As one of the few historical sites in DC I had never visited, this place appealed to me and I'm glad to have seen it.
