Musical comedy will be in full bloom with this perennially-popular, award-winning musical. Little Shop of Horrors blends doo-wop, rock, and Motown tunes into a charming and totally-twisted, monster hit. A strange and unusual plant seems like just the thing to save the troubled Skid Row flower shop and its unfortunate employees, Seymour and Audrey. But when that plant turns out to feed on human blood alone with plans of world domination…well, things get messy. With Grammy and Academy Award-winning songs, you’ll laugh and cringe at this darkly comedic horror musical.

The FBI is taking sole control over the investigation into the deadly shooting of a woman by an ICE agent in Minnesota yesterday. The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehenshion said it was notifed that it "would no longer have access to the case material, scene evidence or investigative interviews necessary to complete a thorough and independent investigation." After the shooting, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said the woman refused commands to get out of her vehicle, and tried to harm the officer with the car.        The search is on for a suspect, or suspects, who killed two people and injured six others outside a church in Utah. Police say a funeral was taking place at an LDS church in Salt Lake City Wednesday when an altercation broke out in the parking lot and shots were fired at a group of people. Of those injured, three are in critical condition.        President Trump is pulling the U.S. from over 60 international organizations and treaties. Among them is the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change. Trump said it was "contrary to the interests" of the U.S. "to remain a member of, participate in, or otherwise provide support to" the organizations, which also advocate for human rights, education, economic development and other issues.        The Senate is advancing a resolution that would block President Trump from taking further action in Venezuela without congressional approval. The upper chamber agreed to start debate on the war powers resolution in a 52-47 procedural vote. Five Republicans joined Democrats in voting to advance the measure.        Testimony continues today in the trial connected to the police response to the mass shooting at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas. Former officer Adrian Gonzales is accused of failing to engage the gunman after arriving at Robb Elementary School just before the shooting started. Nineteen children and two teachers were killed, and another ten kids were wounded.        The College Football Playoff resumes tonight with the first semifinal matchup. Number ten Miami will take on number six Ole Miss in the Fiesta Bowl in Glendale, Arizona. The winner face off in the National Championship against the victor of tomorrow's Peach Bowl between number five Oregon and number one Indiana.
