I don't like those plants all too much. It looks like something any high school can make, except it has a better paint job. Maybe it is just that I am spoiled by the plants from the movie.

I can't wait to see them perform at the Tony's in 2004, if they do. It's gonna be a great year. As a hobby I create performance clips for shows I think would work at the Tony's. For LSOH I would have a medley of "Downtown" followed by a bit of "You'll be a Dentist" followed by "Suddenly Seymore." Then at the end of the performance, the medium Audrey II starts laughing as an eerie light shines on it, while all other lights dim, with a spot on a concerned Seymore and Audrey.

I'm glad the show got good reviews in Florida. I am unusually excited about it. It's all Alice Ripley's fault for flashing my side of the audience in Rocky Horror. I've been smitten ever since. Not to mention that I like the show quite a lot. Thanks for the pictures, they are lovely and colorful. I love shiny bright things.

I hear that the Florida plant is just temporary. The plant on Broadway apparently has a lot of mechanical rigging that would be too complicated to reproduce out on the road.

Hopefully, our darling Al will be keeping her top on in this one. Though, she does seem to have a strange fetish for going around topless... *looks at Flaemmchen* The subway stations will never be safe again...

I read somwhere that the final Audrey 2 plant that will be used in "Don't Feed the Plants" is 23 feet tall! That's two stories!

Didn't Alice say that on her website? That's an insanely large plant and I would NOT want it swallowing me whole.

I have that about the plant to. Apparently it is supposed to extend out into the audience and if they wanted it to, it could actually grab an audience member! LOL. Talk about interactive. I adore Alice -- she was first Fantine way back in 1993. Hunter has that whole geek thing going on, but in a sexy geek sort of way.

THAT'S IT! I want front row seats, folks! I wanna be grabbed by the big plant! That would be SO much fun!

I can't wait for this one. The plant frightens me, though- lol. I don't necessarily know if I want it to eat me-HAHA. The pictures look great, and Im trying to patiently wait for its Broadway entrance.

the cast sounds great.
Hunter, Alice, and Billy Porter. Great
As far as the Ronettes go, I saw haneefah in Rent as the Seasons of Love soloist -- great, dioni as Mabel in Fame with Gavin -- great, and I haven't seen Moeisha, but she was in Mamma Mia and Tara Rubin tends to be very picky when it comes to singing so she should be great too.

I found this in anarticle about Little Shop::
''The big one has to be big enough to ultimately eat the entire cast and scare people,'' says a grinning Robinson, who found a way to make the plant rise up, extend out over the first few rows of the audience and grab people. ``I want wet seats! They should be [covered in] plastic.'' He sees the famous plant as ``. . . a metaphor for whatever you want most in life. She takes your deepest desires and turns them against you. She's the ultimate survivor.''

"The plant should be great"

ya well I've heard that the plant puppet is awesome, but so far I haven't heard any reviews on the plant's voice, Billy Porter (Dreamgirls, Smokey Joe's Cafe, Grease!, Miss Saigon, etc)
I'm sure he's amazing but in all the reviews they fail to mention the plan'ts voice, and with what Billy did to Jimmy Early on the Dreamgirls concert, woa, I'm waiting to be blown away!!

hmm.... this is stuff that I have heard::

Billy makes an appearance on-stage during "Downtown". Just a bit of info.
As the plant, he does pretty good, though he does do a lot of vocal riffs and things that sometimes make him a tad bit hard to understand.
