Prologue / Little Shop of Horrors
[NARRATOR, spoken]
On the twenty-first day of the month of September
In the year of a decade not too long before our own
The human race suddenly encountered a deadly threat to its very existence
And this terrifying enemy surfaced
As such enemies often do
In the seemingly most innocent and unlikely of places
[CRYSTAL, RONETTE & CHIFFON, sung]
Little Shop, Little Shop o' Horrors
Little Shop, Little Shop o' Terror
