Been waiting decades to see original ending.. and the time is nearing!
Here is an article and videos from New York Film Festival screening.
During the discussion section Menken sings snippets from the ORIGINAL score to LITTLE SHOP. Now I'm obsessed hearing the first score. Will my love of this show ever cease? Hope not.

I was not able to see the screening and it gutted me, since the show and film are very dear to me. I cannot wait to buy the Intended Cut.
Funny enough, the end credits of the film label this as "The Intended Cut" rather than the Directors Cut.
Had the privilege of attending this. About a dozen of my life long dreams came true that night. And it was an absolute thrill to see my favorite film (!!) not only on the big screen, but the way it was always intended to be seen. The picture and sound were the best I've ever experienced this film in. Definitely worth a buy if you're a fan of Little Shop, or simply a fan of musicals in general.
Also bummed that I missed this! How much were tickets?
$20, but they sold out pretty fast.
