About this event

Celebrate Valentine’s week with what promises to be an offbeat, scene-stealing event created by Festival Napa Valley and the Cameo Cinema. Roger Corman’s 1960 cult classic, Little Shop of Horrors will be accompanied by a live performance of its iconic score featuring the Grand Feature Film Orchestra.  The orchestra is a San Francisco Bay area nonprofit that performs original restored film scores live, synchronizing the performance with the on-screen action.  

Whether you’re treating your Valentine or indulging in a solo adventure, we promise an unforgettable night of music, merriment, mayhem and botanical chaos! This event is part of our Music Makes the Movie series, created by Festival Napa Valley and the Cameo Cinema. Tickets $35. Doors open 4:30 pm. 

About the film:
Filmed on a bet in two and a half days by Corman, the film tells the story of Mushnick's Flowers, a Skid Row flower shop that becomes famous when the shop's schmuck of a delivery boy, Seymour, breeds a colossal new strain of plant nicknamed "Audrey Jr."  Store owner Mushnick is more than happy to capitalize on the plant, not realizing that the secret to its growth is the fresh human flesh Seymour feeds it nightly. Fans love Jack Nicholson’s first feature film appearance in the tiny but unforgettable role of the masochistic dental patient, Wilbur Force.  Nicholson’s performance embodies the film’s dark, absurd humor of this Roger Corman cult classic.

Festival Napa Valley is a nonprofit arts organization presenting world-class music and performance in California’s Wine Country. Through festivals, education programs, and scholarships, it makes the arts accessible while enriching the community with its signature summer festival held each July at iconic vineyard venues.
