Manchester Theatre | Until 28 November 2026
The cult horror-comedy musical is back at Manchester’s Hope Mill Theatre, and it’s an absolute blast. Here are five reasons to grab tickets while you still can.
1. Audrey II is a puppetry triumph
The bloodthirsty plant is the star of the show. Critics singled it out, and we couldn’t stop grinning every time it appeared.
2. A scene-stealing dentist
Benjamin Yates is gloriously sadistic as Orin the dentist. It’s one of those comic turns people talk about on the way out.
3. Four stars and up across the board
Every rated review so far has given it at least four stars, including five from The Reviews Hub.
4. All the songs you love
Carrie-Anne Ingrouille directs and choreographs a faithful, high-energy staging. It doesn’t reinvent the show, and it doesn’t need to.
5. Book fast, or catch it in Liverpool
Many Manchester performances have already sold out. Missed out? It transfers to Liverpool Playhouse from 3 December to 9 January.
