Show synopsis: Seymour Krelborn is a meek assistant working at a floral shop who comes upon a venus fly trap plant and names it "Audrey II" in honor of his crush on one of the other shop employees. Seymour soon discovers that his beloved plant can not only speak and sing, but can survive only on human blood. 

As Audrey II grows in size and becomes more audacious, Seymour's fame and fortune increase as well. Seymour finally discovers the plant's plans for world domination but it is too late and Audrey II kills Seymour and his namesake.
    

A matchbox of our own
A fence of real chain link,
A grill out on the patio
Disposal in the sink
A washer and a dryer and an ironing machine
In a tract house that we share
Somewhere that's green.

He rakes and trims the grass
He loves to mow and weed
I cook like Betty Crocker
And I look like Donna Reed
There's plastic on the furniture
To keep it neat and clean
In the Pine-Sol scented air
Somewhere that's green

Between our frozen dinner
And our bedtime, nine-fifteen
We snuggle watchin' Lucy
On our big, enormous twelve-inch screen

I'm his December Bride
He's Father, he Knows Best
Our kids watch Howdy Doody
As the sun sets in the west
A picture out of Better Homes and Gardens magazine

Far from Skid Row
I dream we'll go
somewhere that's green.
