Little Shop of Horrors – Film BIO
Little Shop of Horrors Screening with Ellen Greene brings the 1986 musical film to the 5th Avenue Theatre in Seattle, Washington on. The event lineup includes Ellen Greene, whose performance as Audrey helped make the film's blend of comedy, romance, and musical horror memorable. The screening offers audiences a chance to revisit the movie on a large screen and share the experience of its songs and darkly playful story.
The film grew from the stage musical by Alan Menken and Howard Ashman, itself inspired by Roger Corman's 1960 film. Its best-known numbers include “Suddenly, Seymour,” “Somewhere That's Green,” and “Dentist!” Greene's portrayal of Audrey is central to the story, while the film's distinctive mix of theatrical musical numbers and creature-feature humor has helped it remain a cult favorite. No tour name or past dates for this screening at the venue are provided.
The event appears on tacoma-tickets.com under Seattle, Other, and Film. For Seattle audiences, the 5th Avenue Theatre's downtown location makes this screening a fitting occasion to experience a beloved movie in a historic performing-arts setting.
Venue and Seating Information
The 5th Avenue Theatre is a 1926 Seattle landmark with an ornate, Chinese Imperial Palace-inspired interior and approximately 2,130 seats across Orchestra, Mezzanine, and Balcony levels. Its scale and decorative surroundings offer a distinctive setting for a special film screening.
For a clear, immersive view of the screen, the supplied seating guidance favors center Orchestra rows. Front-center Mezzanine seats are another strong choice, providing an elevated perspective. Side sections are generally suitable, though the viewing angle can vary; extreme side Balcony seats are the sections to avoid when possible.
Parking Information
The theatre has no dedicated on-site parking, so visitors should plan ahead for downtown Seattle. The 1200 Fifth Ave Garage is the recommended nearby option, while taking Link light rail to University Street station can avoid the need to park near the venue.

Avoid the APA Coast Seattle Downtown Hotel garage on 6th Avenue, which the venue information specifically warns visitors not to use. Arriving early is advisable because parking can be challenging in downtown Seattle.
