So yeah .. remember last year about this time when I said how great the NHS production of “Beauty & the Beast” was and how you should really go see it? Well you should have gone to see it, of course, but the thing is ... I didn’t. Well, not really.
You see, I’ve just got this aversion to all things Disney. Can’t help it; always have, always will. So, in order to write last year’s review of the annual Norwich High School musical, I stayed only long enough to gauge each of the main player’s performances and then I hightailed it out of there. I’m sure it was brilliant throughout, I’m just not a big fan of all things Mouse.
That said, I had no such aversion to “Little Shop of Horrors,” this year’s offering by director Mark Sands and the kids of the Norwich High School musical club. But still, having mastered the art of writing a review based on 20 minutes of a show, I was tempted to do the same Wednesday night, especially after interviewing 55 kids and not having eaten since noon.
