Little Shop Of Horrors...


cast LSOH

Tonight was Press night/Family Night, and the show was wonderful. Seymour bloomed like we never knew he could, and sparkled like he was made for the part. He was actually. He auditioned for the part of seymour, and even before he knew what the part called for he WAS Seymour. He is geeky and he is sweet and he is soooo naive! And he really IS. when this show is over, he will continue on being just the same way.

Audrey is a lot more worldly, but she is a sweet young lady too. she has a very powerful voice and is a great actress, pulling off Audrey just like she was a natural blonde. I knew her before she auditioned, (Her Mom owns the scrapbook store that I am paying for...;) )

Orin the Sadistic Dentist has been seen in several of our shows and he is the President of the Board Of DIrectors. Unfortunately this is his swan song, as he is in the Navy and is being transferred in December. He will really be missed. His wife Dawn is our Musical Director, and we will have a really hard time replacing them.

Musnick is also in the Navy, and has a voice that sends shivers up your spine. He can do a Falsetto better than many can. Wonderful actor.

I can not believe how well cast this show is. Even our plant is great. Unfinished, but great. Audrey II will be ready by Tuesday I hope. We are building her, and she is being built out of fiberglass, and chicken wire. Fiberglass will not set if the weather is too cold or too wet and the weather has not cooperated at all.



dying audrey

Right after Audrey dies, Seymour picks her up off the floor and carries her to the plant, and feeds her to it. Seymour wrapped his arms under her tonight and went to pick her up and fell flat on his butt. He tried again, and fell again. THen they both started laughing, and then so did the audience. A very touching scene and they laughed. It was great.

Several of you have said that you have never heard of Little Shop of Horrors before. I would suggest to you that you go rent the movie, it is so funny. The show we do is based on the movie, and in this case, the Movie came first, and was so popular that they made a Broadway Show out of it. Rick Moranis plays Seymour, and Steve Martin plays Orin the sadistic Dentist. Do yourself and your family a favoer and WATCH it. It is blow milk out your nose funny!!! Dark, but funny. (David, live a little, rent it!)
