I've always wondered whether or not there was an earlier version of the poster with Seymoure or someone holding the dead Audrey. There's a phantom hand right under her arm and another hand by her legs, but there is no person attatched. Has anyone else ever noticed this or have any insight?

I always thought it was meant to be ambiguous (though in in context it would be Seymour of course.) Byrd's website has nearly all his theatre posters and while there are separate concept ones for Follies and some other shows, nothing else for Little Shop. It's one of my faves of his, though (for what it's worth.)

Me too. After Follies it's my favorite of his work.

That's really an inspired logo.

This is probably a dumb question, but before the Shuberts, et al picked up the show and moved it to the Orpheum, was the Byrd logo used for the first WPA production?

I was just going through my old tapes, and I found the Original Cast recording of Little Shop and Pippin. Wow I almost wore them both out.

I remember the huge billboard for this on the roof of the Village Cigar store in the Village on the corner of Christopher and 7th Avenue.
