I just saw a picture of joey fatone with a caption about him doing Little Shop of Horrors. Can someone give me info about this? When is this starting...how will he do...ect?? Anyopne got any opinions of how the show is now???
I love LSOH, but I didn't want to see it with Hunter Foster. I thought he was simply wrong for the part. I would have liked to see someone more like Rick Moranis. But when Fatone reviews came out, many of them said that he had what Hunter was missing so I went to see it. Actually, Fatone's performance was very interesting and unique. He was almost dangerously self-conscious and tense, someone with really paralyzing social anxiety. This wasn't always effective theatrically, but it was an intriguing interpretation. The show really wasn't too great the day I saw it. Rob Bartlett (whom I was REALLY looking forward to seeing) was out and it was a week before closing so it looked like they weren't too enthusiastic. But I get the feeling that he was better than Hunter.
Actually I was not going to SEE it because he was in it. I am not a fan of pop "celebs"ruining Broadway shows. But then I finally got pretty cheap tickets and went. I have to say he wasn't all that bad. I didn't like his acting too much,but it wasn'T terrible either. Yep, no Hunter...

Theres probably already a thread about this, but how's the tour of Little Shop? Its coming to Wharton in March or April, and if Im around to see it, I think I might. I love Anthony Rapp!:)
Joey Fatone actually wasn't too bad in Little Shop. My only complaint was his diction. I could barely understand a lot of what he was saying. I had ushered for the show enough times to know most of the dialogue, and still I couldn't figure out what he was saying.

I thought he was excellent as Seymour. Very funny, great voice. I was very impressed, and surprised how impressed I was.
