Little Shop of Horrors: Director’s Cut

Saturday, Oct 19, 2024 at 6:00 pm

Location: Redstone Theater

Dir. Frank Oz. 1986/2012, 94 mins. DCP. With Rick Moranis, Ellen Greene, Vincent Gardenia, Steve Martin, Levi Stubbs. One of the great musicals of the 1980s follows down-and-out flower shop assistant Seymour (Rick Moranis), who becomes a national sensation when he discovers an exotic plant that craves fresh blood. Soon Audrey II (an elaborate puppet created by Henson Creature Shop alumnus Lyle Conway and voiced by Stubbs of The Four Tops) grows into an ill-tempered, foul-mouthed, R&B-singing carnivore. Little Shop of Horrors features a sensational Greene as Seymour’s dippy love interest Audrey, Martin as a hilariously sadistic dentist, and sensational songs by Alan Menken and Howard Ashman. Upon negative test screenings, the studio made director Oz change the dark ending; this director’s cut restores the original film as intended.
