Little Shop of talent horrors — Page 4

And as far as I know, I don't think we've mentioned Kerry in a couple posts...even the last ones to mention her were mostly positive...I think we've calmed down. But I'm glad to see you're ready to defend the great Kerry at any moment.

Hey Lou, mind posting a link to your Letter to the Editor? I'd like to read it. I'm a nosey little bugger.

I could not agree with you more, Corine2.

Not to change the subject of the post, but I will be seeing Little Shop very soon and want some spoilers about the show lol. How does the prologue begin? Do the three girls just appear or come above etc? Also how is the frame of the stage set up? what do u see when u enter? lol u can just email me if u would like..very interested about the show..trying to prepare myself. thanx

i saw little shop...i thought kerry was wonderful, myself...she actually made me BELIEVE audrey, she wasn't as ridiculous as other people who have played her, she actually was plausibly a real person.

but the show was DEFINITELY stolen by crystal, ronette, and chiffon...those three girls are all amazing singers, they're hilarious, and they just kept the show going. they are my idols, lol

Corine,

It's an outrage to critique Kerry's performance but perfectly fine to turn around and bash another actor's work just cause YOU have an opinion?

Come on now. That's just too hypocritical for words!

I didn't miss Ellen Greene's lisp, belt or boobs. I missed the qualities that all actresses must bring to the role of Audrey: emotional fagility and a certain sadness at the way her life's turned out. Without those, the character does not want and is not compelling enough for the audience to really root for her. I did think she showed glimpses of that performance and, with a stronger actor's director, could have really made something special and unique of the role.

I really think that Kerry Butler is great.

She has a wonderful voice, and when she gets cast in the right role is definite Tony material.

She's great at playing ditzy... but when she has the right material and can break loose, a 'la "Can't Stop the Beat" and "Suddenly Seymour"... all shivers and goosebumps... it's great.

Thinking about the Little Mermaid post, I would love to see her in that role... but maybe I'm ready for her to get a role that is more mature. :)
