Here is act one of the September 21, 2003 preview performance of the original Broadway production of "Little Shop of Horrors" at the Virginia Theatre in New York.
After the failed Florida try-out earlier in the year, the show was totally scrapped and reproduced from the ground up, with a new director (Jerry Zaks), new choreography, new set design, and a new cast. Virtually the only element to survive the move to Broadway was the casting of Hunter Foster (fresh off of the musical URINETOWN) in the role of Seymour Krelborn. (Though, according to Foster in Stars in the House "Suddenly Seymours" live stream, he did have to re-audition for the role.)
The cast also features Trisha Jeffrey as Crystal, Carla J. Hargrove as Ronnette, DeQuina Moore as Chiffon, Kerry Butler as Audrey, and Rob Bartlet as Mushnik, as well as Douglas Sills as Orin (and others), Michael-Leon Wooley as the voice of Audrey II, and Martin P. Robinson, Anthony Asbury, Bill Remington, and Matt Vogel as puppeteers for Audrey II.

I love how the audience is shocked after the plant says “Feed me” and then laughed afterwards even though the ending of the play is very different then what was played in the movie I couldn’t help but laugh along with the audience in the dentist office scene because of the laughing gas machine but we all know what happens after the dentist gets killed by the laughing gas he ends up being a plant food. But overall I’m impressed with the puppetry and the voice of the plant I’m also impressed with the actors and actresses they did a phenomenal job. I’m happy to say that in September 14 little shop of horrors might be back on Broadway at the westside theater I say that only because I don’t remember seeing it on Broadway in person but I’ve watched the movie and I’ve seen some clips of it and I’m like I would really love to see it and I also think that slowly we would be back the way it used to be before Covid hit last year but slowly.

This was the best show I've ever seen. Thereafter with Anthony Rapp as Seymour. I saw it 12 times. It was the best musical and still is, the best musical to me in the world. The new cast tho? NO THANKS!

@quakkzy6499 2 жыл бұрын

I think you wrote this during Conrad Ricamoras time as seymour. The new cast certainly is very different and is a very unique take on the show. To be honest, I wasn't keen on Ricamoras performance either. However, skylar astin just got the role, and I personally like the new cast. And my god, Christian Borle was born to play Orin (but he is amazing in everything). I do think that the new mushnik and Audrey choices are interesting to say the least. But the Audrey Two that is currently touring is so amazing. I think one of the fundamental problems with the new one when compared to this one is that the budget was crazy for this one. I mean, the plant went into the audience! I see where you are coming from, but I don't think you should be too fast to judge. Obviously, I don't know if you've seen it, I have only been able to see some of it because I live in Australia, but I think the revival does a good job for what it was going for.

I'm obsessed with this musical in general and really like the revival! Christian Borles' portrayal as orin is hilariously comedic with Jonathan and the Urchins and he brings a very "tough guy" feel to the role as well! I've seen the bootleg hundreds of times and really enjoy it! I enjoy this one, too, and will forever be one of my favorites! Same thing with the movie! The revival is more modern, and I would understand why you don't like it, but me I personally love it dearly!

Seymore operates the hand puppet, and then when it grows bigger, there's a man sitting in the pot and his legs are the plants roots and operates the plant with his arms. Sometimes there are two productions. When my drama group did LSOH, the guy doing the voice for Audrey 2 was behind the black curtain and the other actor was inside the plant. When it eats ppl itsl like a slide inside the plant. The puppets are adorable, but our revolve was petrifying, cos you felt like you were crushed lol. I was ensamble
