When it came to Little Shop of Horrors, designer Martin P. Robinson faced an impossible challenge: he needed to create a giant plant that could talk, sing, dance… and swallow people whole—live on stage.

This is the story of the chaos, collaboration, and innovation that went into creating one of the most iconic puppets in theatre history — as told by those who lived it.
