If your school ever does Little Shop of Horrors ....

never ever ever break any of the Audrey II ! If you break the tiniest one , it’s $1000 to fix it … and they all come on a giant truck . If you don’t have enough people to move the plants , then the delivery guy just leaves … with the plant !!

I’m so glad I’m not getting eaten by that plant , and I plan not to touch it’s teeth , those are $100 to fix …

Oh , and if you mess everything up it’s a total of almost $20,000 !!

Wow , Audrey II is one , high matience plant …

Just thought I’d let you all know that … i think it’s a crazy price for some puppets … no wonder small schools make their own cheap version … :wink:

Oooh, ouch. Those are some pretty gnarly numbers. Be careful there! :astonished: :open_mouth:

That’s crazy!

That must be a pretty big budget show :open_mouth:

What school is this? High school? Middle?

I’ll tell my Girlfriend that. Her school is planing on doing that musical this year.

What budget is your school on? :open_mouth: They did the show at my school when I was in senior year of high school, and it was low budget. I highly doubt the puppets they had were that expensive.

It’s a high school , and we do lots and lots of fundraisers . such as ads in our playbill . If each person gets $50 in ads , we have a bit more than enough to pay for Audrey II …

It’s kind of funny , because my friend Fiyero is playing the voice of the plant , and he’s pretty conceded … like that puppet is being … lol …

thank god I don’t have to go in the plant … although they’re thinking about selling pictures with the plant pod #3 … I hope they’ll let me sit on it or something … I know ! I’ll hug it or kiss it … because Audrey II’s are so cute !! :smiley:

At the look of the amount of dollors, it looks like the show has really high expectations.

Well , you kind of have to remember that’s the price if you mess something up , the price for the plant(s) comes to $3,500 …

Wow…That’s expensive. :open_mouth: It must be one heck of a show!

Just the other week we weren’t allowed to keep photocopied sheets because it was too expensive to photocopy more. :stuck_out_tongue:

If your Audrey II isn’t expensive, it’s probably malnourished. I suggest you feed it more dentists.

kageri : lol ! But my Audrey II only like dentists that call their ditzy blonde girlfriend a “dizzy cow” ! Oh , and sometimes jewish flower shop owners who are cheapskates …

that reminds me how in my fanfiction , the Audrey III eats roast beef hoagies … :wink:

lizardgirl : We hope so ! We’re also going to be having the finale in 3D , with many vines dropping down on the audience (who will have 3D glasses on , so it looks like they are closer) and the shop walls are going to raise up when we’re in the store and outside of the store

Dude, do you go to school in space or something? That’s just fancy.

This is totally off-topic, but when I watch the 1986 movie I’m fine seeing Seymour chop people up and feed them to the plant, but I can’t stand watching him squeeze blood out of his finger. It is totally gross.

actually , our school is known for not being so good … not in theater , just grades and graduation rates …

i think i found the plant …

it’s … beautiful … :open_mouth:

That’s just too cool. I love it!
:smiley:

What do you think is the absolute best scene in Little Shop of Horrors?

Omg it counts in so many ways …

Song wise

Play : Mushnik and Son , this is just funny , and the words show Mushnik’s jewish side a bit more … and his cheap side . LOL , two things him and my stepdad have in common (jk !)

Movie (1986) : Green Mean Mother From Outer Space , Best song in the movie ! Do you have any ideas how many puppeteers that must’ve taken ?

Blocking , staging , and acting wise

Play : Skid Row , I don’t know about the real play , but ours is pretty dang cool ! I get to hop on a barrel ! :smiley: Also , That’s when we get to use our moving walls and props the most (i think) , and our Mushnik has to be one of the best ! You should see him scaring our Seymour ( not in real life of course , in fact our Audrey , Seymour , and Mushnik are the best of friends , and you should see them in rehearsals , they have their own dances for little shop and skid row , and they look like the dreamgirls , besides the fact that only one of them are female )

Movie : Green Mean Mother From Outer Space Basically the same reason as above for song wise …

I know, right? Now they’d do the plant with CGI, but the puppetry (I will henceforth until my dying day refer to all puppeteers as “puppet-controlling guys”) in the movie was fantastic. Gotta love the little singing pods, too.

Hah, when I saw the movie with a friend, that part made us laugh the most. It’s just halarious :stuck_out_tongue: :smiley:

lol , i forgot about those little guys …

Since we are talking about LSOH,I think I mentioned before that my GF is going to try out for that musical. She wants the character of Audrey. She is starting to fall in love for the “Somewhere That’s Green” song. When she auditions, she wants to sing a song with a hint of that piece, you know what I mean? Anyone have a recommendation?
