Event Lollipops: Little Shop of Horrors

We’re beginning to build our custom-orders business – it’s not very formal right now, basically if you want something custom you can shoot us an email to thischarmingcandy@gmail.com and we’ll go from there :-)

Which is exactly what one of the folks at the Caribbean Community Theater in the U.S. Virgin Islands did.

This month, they’re putting on Little Shop of Horrors, a rock musical in which one 'character' is a giant Venus fly trap that consumes human blood. Lisa thought our Bloodsucker lollipops would be a perfect “break-a-leg” treat for cast and crew on opening night, and asked us to make them in our flower shape instead of the heart we usually use. She made these adorable origami Venus fly traps in flower pots to display them:

As a former high school theater participant (hey, me too! - k8) and a theater season subscriber here in Seattle, I’m particularly thrilled to have had the honor and opportunity to do something for this production.

I don’t know if any of our readers will be in Christiansted, V.I. this month, but if you will be, please go see the show for us!
