Never thought of Jake Gyllenhaal playing Seymore, but now that I have seen it. HOLY HELL HE IS A PERFECT CHOICE! He just kills it at the role!

He lets out that perfect Levi Stubbs laugh and everyone simultaneously realizes it's going to be awesome.

"OH BOY, oh boy..." *can't remember line, flipping through script* "ohhhh booy."

*wildly waves around arms and legs* "dOeS tHiS LoOk iNaNimaTE tO YoU pUnK?!"

Levi Stubbs would be proud of that amazing Audrey II voice.

THAT GROWL ON "CRAVE" HOLY DAMN YES

1:03 oh boy, oh boy, oh boy, oh b o y

6:35 THAT WAS SO RAW HOLY SHIT

Wow I really wish there was a cast recording

that is litaraly the best Audrey 2 besides the movie one

It's both weird and kinda cool to see an actual guy as Twoey! As ridiculous as the shoestring budget is in this, it's kinda neat to see it all stripped down like this.

OK this is absolutely the best Audrey II other than Levi Stubbs that I've ever heard. Jake was surprisingly good too, this was a really good cast overall

jake is an unbelievable singer

Few people could upstage Jake Gyllenhaal as thoroughly and completely as Eddie Cooper.

Eddie Cooper is everything. Give him more parts. GOOD parts.

Lumberjack Seymour makes my day

These two would be PERFECT for the new movie. Why didn’t they cast them??? Jake would be their star name, is a fun actor, is great for the role and interprets the character in a fun way. Eddie is comparable to some of the greatest Audrey II’s (including Levi Stubbs), plus he brings a Disney villain vibe to the role (which I am a sucker for).

It’s criminal that there’s no album with this cast.

A little disconcerting to see a man instead of a huge plant..but..I like!.

Eddie’s getting a lot of well-deserved praise, but this is my favorite performance of Seymour’s part of this song.

god the talent in this is impeccable and brilliant but the way he’s just holding the little plant is having me SENT

His last "So go get it" - amazing.

oh man he is GOOOOD. He got that super villain laugh and everything! I played the plant in a production many years ago. Honestly this song was the most difficult for me. I kept getting tongue tied on the line "you know the kind of eats, the kind of red hot sweets, the kind of sticky licky treats I crave" That line damn near killed me! And the special effect got a curtain call before I did. I walked out and the audience was like "who TF is that?" Good times....

I wish these was more songs of Eddie singing, especially as Audery 2, his voice is amazing :'(

Damn Mysterio has some pipes

woop didn't know jake gyllenhaal could sing!!!

I was already in love with Jake, but watching this performance is making my heart explode. Why is he so sweet and talented?

That was actually better than I thought...but Ramona Keller (my favorite soprano) stole that part of the show with those clear pingy high notes.

very cool how they did audrey ii in this version. as much as i love puppetry, having an actor was just super cool to see. plus he's good at this role!

THIS GUY IS SO GOOD

1:03 me when I get my test back

and since when mysterio sings

OH boy, oh boyyy *casually forgets lie* OOOOOHHH BOOOYYYY

Best Audrey2 since Levi Stubbs

JAKES LITTLE JUMP UP AND DOWN UGH MY HEART

The soprano FELT it that day..! 😄

EDDIE IS AH-MAZING!!!

Oh wow he's so good as the plant amazing

Wow--Eddie is amazing as hell!

This guy should voice the next Audrey II in the Little Shop reboot.

I’m seeing Jake Gyllenhaal in London in August I’m seeing Sunday in the Park with George I’m soooo excited he’s my all time fave actor and celebrity crush I’m 6 rows from the front I can’t wait.

Eddie would be a great Audrey 2 for the remake. It’s either him or Michael Wooley.

It's so weird seeing a human Audrey II in a play.

my favorite Audrey 2

so this is what Quentin Blake did before he had to work for Tony Stark huh

I come back to this set of videos every single year now, especially since "Little Shop" is our kick off to Halloween at my house every 23rd day on the month of September. Never does this ever get old, Bravo!

wow, that was astonishing! would've been awesome to hear it live..

jake's second 'i don't know.',,, WOOIE MAMA,.,.,.,..,,,

Did anyone else know that the Audrey in this is Ellen Greene, the original Audrey from the movie! OMG, I am so happy right now, no one can top Ellen as Audrey.

It is kind of weird to see Audrey II be completely human but it works. He does a great job!

goosebumps 😍

This was good !!!

What a fucking unit this man is

It's like if Hollywood actors were in a high-school play.

My stupid ass thought that was Stanley from The Office the first time I watched this. More to the point, absolute BANGER of a fucking performance.

CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP that my applause awsome

Power of acting

This guy is amazing ! Am I the only one who thinks Wayne Brady would make a decent Audrey 2 ?

2:22 to 2:24 what's that vocal technique called. The other Audrey's used it as well

you should upload the whole show

Even Mysterio wants a place in broadway.

Wow if you close your eyes ir trunk ur phone over and just listen to the song it sounds exactly like the movie Version. I didnt see a human Audrey 2 I seen the plant n seen Semore. Simply amazing!!!

That Audrey II voice, oh yeah.

5:53 😥😘🥰😍 awww.

maybe you should upload the whole thing?

Man can Jake sing or can Jake SING

I kinda want Taran Killam to treat me like that. ❤️😍❤️

Lyrics: Feed me Feed me Feed me Feed me, Seymour. Feed me all night long. "That's right, boy!" You can do it... Feed me, Seymour. Feed me all night long... 'Cause if you feed me, Seymour, I can grow up, big and strong. Would you like a Cadillac car? Or a guest-shot on Jack Paar? How about a date with Hedy Lamarr... You gonna git it. How'd ya like to be a big wheel? Dining out, for every meal. I'm the plant can make it all real. You're gonna git it. Hey, I'm your genie. I'm your friend. I'm your willin' slave... Take a chance, feed me, yeah. You know the kinda eats, The kinda ret-hot treats, The kinda sticky licky, sweets I crave... Ow! Come on, Seymour, Don't be a putz! Trust me and your life will surely Rival King Tut's. Show a little initiative, boy, Work up some guts, And you'll git it. I don't know. I don't know. I have so... so many strong... reservations. Should I go... and perform... mutilations? Think about a room at the Ritz, Wrapped in velvet, covered in glitz. A little nookie gonna clean up those zits, And you'll git it... uh huh... Gee I'd like a Harley machine. Tooling around like I was James Dean. Makin' all the guys on the corner turn green! So, go git it! Woo woo woo! If you wanna be profound... If you really gotta justify... Take a breath and look around... A lot of folks deserve to die... Stupid woman! Christ, what a freakin' scatterbrain! I'm sorry, doctor! I'm sorry doctor! If you want a rationale, It isn't very hard to see. No, No, No... Stop and think it over, pal. The guy sure looks like plant food to me! The guy sure looks like plant food to me! The guy sure looks like plant food to me...! He's so nasty treatin' her rough! Smackin' her around, and always talkin' so tough! You need blood and he's got more than enough! I need blood and he's got more than enough! You/I need blood and he's got more than enough! So Go Git it

Cool

He actually hit her!!

Do they have their scripts on stage?

Did jake sing “feed me all night long p” along with him in the first few seconds of the Song?

1:01 LOL

my favorite audrey II performance aside from levi stubbs it’s SO good

Aw Audrey 2 is cute

Can someone tell me if this version is out on DVD or something? Please.

love this. Jake G is pretty awesome as Seymore. So understated. Love the 'theatre' moment of forgetting his lines. Is this a rehearsal??? does anyone know the story behind the scripts on stage? There is an audience so is confusing.

MY M A N YE S

I’m pretty sure Orin actually hits her

What does Ellen (Audrey) drop?

What was this for is this the original plant voice why can we see him

HOLY SHIT! Did Ellen Greene actually get smacked!

You all were fooled into thinking this was real. It's a hologram!

Def different seeing a man on a chair. We done this in a show I directed. I had a medium size puppet made and my singer used that as a puppet/character as he sung and acted.

Of course they get the actor who played Oogie Boogie to play Audrey II

I love daddy jake ooh yes sing to me

That plant's smaller than I expected. Like Pod 2 small. Not necessarily bad, just not what I expected.

The only thing I don’t like is he didn’t have the accent for Seymour but other than that he was great!

"the girl sure looks like plant food to me" ???

Oh my god, they completely screwed up at 6:14 and sang "the girl sure looks like plant food to me!" They realized the mistake they made and kept going....

I still can't get past the whole scripts on stage thing. I get that it's a concert, not a stage play, but I would appreciate it if they at least took the time to learn the lyrics.
