I do not remember there being any hookers in Little Shop. Can you cite where you are getting that information from? Was it in the playbill? It takes place not on skid row but in Skid Row, because that is the name of the city where it is set. The subplot is that the hero and heroine are trying to get away from Skid Row to make a better life for themselves (terrible role models). And concepts like growing up and out of childhood things, rebelling against a parent's advice - how sinister and unnatural!
If one is so easily offended, one should not attend future performances nor allow their own children to participate.
I seem to have missed the part where the kids in this production where told that this is exactly how real life is (i.e., mutant carnivorous sentient plants as in Little Shop) and told that they should emulate every character portrayed in popular culture.
I also did not read a suggestion about what production or characters would be appropriate. What musical's characters would you find morally beyond reproach and entirely suitable?
If this stuff is too much for you, stay home and organize your socks or read a book about dust. Don't have a cow.
Good job Arts Alive, good job kids!
