Outdoor Cinema

Little Shop of Horrors

A man-eating plant from outer space causes havoc in this beloved cult musical starring Rick Moranis, Ellen Greene and, in an unforgettable performance, Steve Martin as a sadistic dentist.

Frank Oz’s adaptation of the off-Broadway smash hit musical is a mega-blast of fun from beginning to end. Rick Moranis plays Seymour, a nerdy guy working in a failing florist, who longs for the love of his colleague, Audrey (Ellen Greene). In the shop’s basement, Seymour secretly nurtures a strange plant, which he names Audrey II, which brings in new customers and revitalises the business but, to his alarm, grows into a bloodthirsty monster…

This delightful pastiche is crammed with showstopping hits, including “Somewhere That's Green”, the Oscar-nominated “Mean Green Mother from Outer Space” and, of course, “Suddenly Seymour”. Moranis and Greene are super, and there are terrific comedy cameos from Jim Belushi, John Candy, Bill Murray and Steve Martin as a villainous dentist, with Levi Stubbs of The Four Tops as the voice of Audrey II.

Event Information

Information might change closer to the events taking place, so it’s worth double checking nearer the time, and we’ll be in touch with the most important information before your screening. 

Coming to the screening 
We can't wait to welcome you to this year's Outdoor Cinema! It’s first come, first served regarding seating – you can claim your seats up to an hour before the screening. The seats are padded but you’re welcome to bring your own cushion if you prefer to be extra comfy.

We can’t provide blankets, but we advise you to bring one along, as well as a jacket or coat and anything else you’d like to have with you after sundown, as it’ll get chilly. 

You’ll be given a pair of headphones to listen to the film through; there won’t be any speakers outside. You’ll collect these on arrival and hand them in on the way back. The headphones are not waterproof so please keep them covered if the rain starts.
 
Please don’t bring large bags or lots of stuff with you, as there’s no cloakroom available.
 
Come in up to 15 minutes after the advertised start time. Staff members are there to help you find an available seat. If you arrive late, you’ll be missing the film – we’re punctual!

You’re more than welcome to take pictures of the screening area until the film begins, but after that, please don’t take photo or video once the film has started - the same piracy rules apply as they would for an indoor cinema. Also, please respect the privacy of our residents and your fellow audience members.

Food and drink
Food and drink is available to purchase on site. Only drink purchased on site can be consumed at the Outdoor Cinema. Glass bottles aren’t allowed for the safety of you and fellow audience members.

Access
Outdoor Cinema is wheelchair accessible: there is a ramp leading to the screening area. Please let us know in advance if you need assistance by emailing us at [email protected]. We have accessible screenings in the programme, please see below which are Captioned and come with AD. All our Accessible Events can be found here too.
Assistance dogs are welcomed (but no pets, sorry!)

If there’s rain 
We’re at the mercy of the British summer. If the forecast looks like rain, we recommend you bring waterproof clothing. We can provide biodegradable ponchos if you’ve forgotten your own! We’d ask you not to bring umbrellas though; we’ll cancel and refund if the rain continues.  

If the weather is deemed to be extreme or unsafe, you’ll receive an email from us with an update on the event.

Finding the Sculpture Court
Just arrive through our main entrance and the Sculpture Court is up on level 3, just outside the Art Gallery. If you’re unfamiliar with our venue, don’t worry – we’ll provide directions on how to get here nearer the time. 

Noise
Finally, we’d ask you to remember that the Outdoor Cinema is in a residential area, so we’d kindly ask you to be as quiet as possible when you’re leaving, and try to refrain from singing along (as catchy as some songs are). 

Sculpture Court

Location
The Sculpture Court is an outside space in the Barbican Estate and is accessible from Level 3, if coming from inside the Barbican building, or via the highwalks and Frobisher Crescent from outside. 

Address
Barbican Centre
Silk Street, London
EC2Y 8DS

Public transport
The Barbican is widely accessible by bus, tube, train and by foot or bicycle. Plan your journey and find more route information in ‘Your Visit’ or book your car parking space in advance.
