Little Shop of Horrors is the most underrated musical of all time.

That's because nobody can match the original. Everyone always gets the tone wrong. They play it as a cartoon when it should be played for camp. The original was brilliant because they got the tone exactly right.

OP, what is "On my Own"? Where is it from?

"The Wheels of a Dream" and "Back to Before" from "Ragtime." (And throw in the Act I finale, even though it's more gospel-flavored.)

In the Little Shop of Horrors Broadway show, is the voice of Seymour recorded, or is an actor offstage singing the part live?

r9 Do you mean the plant? Seymour is most certainly singing live.

r9, if you're talking about the plant, in most productions I've seen, there is a man singing the role of Audrey 2 (the plant) live.

R11, Sorry, I meant the Audrey the plant. Does the actor just stay in the wings the whole time and sing? That seems really strange to be one the stars of the show and never get to go on stage.

Oh, fer crissakes! Why can't they get someone decent to play the role? He's going to attempt camp, end up cartoon and fall flat on his fat ass.
Seymour does not need to be played by a sexy actor. Throwing a pair of glasses on him does not create what the character is supposed to be. They should go for someone more like Eddie Redmayne, gawky and not gorgeous.

I'm posting this here because you bitches made fun of me in the Brady thread. I am a serious operetta star! The Brady Bunch was just to fund my singing career.

Amber Riley is playing Audrey 2 in the Pasadena Playhouse "Little Shop" (With "Pose's" MJ Rodriguez as Audrey.) I wonder if she'll be recorded or ???
