LITTLE SHOP revival video in London... — Page 3

The. Plant. Looks. Like. Crap.

---

I'm not terribly familar with the show, but I enjoyed the clips. It looks like a fun show.

---

Yeah, didn't look like the best, and yeah the plant looked a bit like a sick muppet, but from the clip I saw two things that I liked
1) Audrey's glasses - They reminded me of Marilyn Monroe in How To Marry A MIlionare, and I thought they were a nice touch.
2) At the end of SS when he grabs her. It just,well, made me smile.

The set looked EXACTLY like the set for the one I saw in Jackson, MS. It looks very cheap, but the plant looks wwwwaaaaaaayyyy better than the community theatre production's.

I hope there's a cast recording!

How was Paul Keating as Seymour? He was such a cutie in Closer To Heaven.

Why does the plant look like crap? Because it doesn't look live every other Audrey II that's EVER been on stage?

I think it looks a hell of a lot better than the recent Broadway revival - and even if it's not - I'd prefer a mediocre different take on the show than a mediocre carbon copy of every other production.

I can't believe so many people are dissing the plant! And what exactly does a man-eating plant from outer space look like then? Just because it's different it doesn't mean it's rubbish.

How can you base what a whole production is like when you've only got a 2 minute video to base it off. If you've been to see it and didn't like it, then that entirely your opinion and I respect that - but don't start saying it's rubbish if you've not even seen it.

Do you know what Howard Ashman said to Frank Oz when he did the film? He said "This is meant to be STUPID". It's not meant to be a spectacular production with huge sets and a cast of thousands, it's completely tounge-in-cheek.

I'm seeing it in April and I cannot wait. I'm going in with an open mind and gearing up for a great day out. =)

i don't think it looks as bad as everyone is letting on. granted, it doesn't really look Broadway calibur

LOL, like ex-calibur-??? It's calibre, love.

It doesn't look a giant, cheap sock puppet, that's for sure. In fact, that looks like they lost the real plant and had to put one together five minutes before curtain.

I actually talked to Mike McShane before the show. He said he had that operation where they staple or bypass something in the intestines or stomach - clearly I'm not a doctor. You know the one I mean. Anyway, it worked. He's very happy about it.
