Little shop of horrors is my all-time favorite and it gives what it needs to give.
It reads like surgery like she says this line she takes two steps and then turns and says this line which is why every performance of it and production of it no matter what the scale is base level good because the music and the storytelling is good.
So it's not relying on a star or a big budget it's just a good story with good music with good jokes it's howard ashman it's like oh it's so good like the writing is so then you realize it is howard ashman and you're like oh of course this is genius.
But act two story wise for me like it gets weird but the that music is truly unbelievable and I remember not to be a nerd but I wrote when I was in college during musical theatre history I had to do like a big deep dive on a musical and of course I picked that one.
