@@amelialister1220So the puppet designs are all practically the same for each production, The little pod is a hand puppet, the plant when held by Seymour is also a hand puppet, and the only puppet operated by the lead, The "Feed Me" Plant is a a full body puppet (kinda like big bird) the mouth is operated by both arms why the legs are the vines , and for the big one in the final parts of the show is a big puppet that has a back device that holds up the upper lip up, while the puppet uses both arms to pull a bar that operates the bottom lip. Now for the number of Puppeteers it varies, The Original Off Broadway performance, All puppets (besides the Seymour operated one) were handled by only one Puppeteer, In the Broadway Revival in the early 2000s most puppets were often performed by one Puppeteer but it can also be up to four, this also applies to the off-broadway revival today, which is operated by primarily (excluding Seymour)
This puppeteer in my opinion is tied for best Twoey ever with the puppeteer who did it for the original 1982-87 production. That one also looked so seamless that it’s insane (you can find a recording of it on RUclips).
Let’s give some appreciation for Aaron Arnell Harrington as the voice of Twoey. This is one of the most expressive Twoey performances I’ve heard so far.
I think he might be my favorite Twoey. Have you seen the Tiny Desk with him and Conrad Ricamora? It’s so great to see Aaron do it in person, and also to see him and Conrad do it face-to-face, they actually put thought into the physicality of it as two humans, like instead of Seymour just dancing as he forgets himself for a second, they do it so that Aaron is doing this little shimmy dance and Conrad starts doing the exact choreo with him before he comes to his senses and is all “No no no wait” It’s so good
@@JC-yy8iv Totally agree with you. The LSOH Tiny Desk has got to be one of the best ever clips on RUclips, 20-odd minutes of pure gold. Since coming across it I have worked out that I've watched The Dentist, Christian Borle & The Urchins, well over 150 times, what a quartet. I can never just watch it once, usually average about 5 or 6 times, at a time. It's the eyes that do it for me! Git It is well over 100 as well, Aaron is so expressive & both have fantastic voices. 11 of the 12 are on the top of their game BUT Tammy Blanchard is the worst Audrey I have ever seen, I've seen better at local amateur shows. She is just the same throughout, no nuances, she just shouts & totally ruins Suddenly Seymour. A cold? Honestly? In contrast, The Urchins are the best set of 3 I've ever seen. Everyone seems to be having such a great fun time. Would give good money to know what Christian said to the three of them. I'm not on any social media or else I would ask around. Have you seen LSOH Slime, Christian Borle & the telephone?
I was in an amateur production of this years ago, understudying for Audrey II. The lead guy was a better singer than me, but the director liked my speaking voice and line delivery. I did the matinee the first week and they switched me to understudying Mushnik. They said my take on Audrey II was too scary. To be fair, I did play it a little more sinister than I probably should have.
I like how Audrey 2 just starts flailing her roots around in the "DOES THIS LOOK 'INANIMATE' TO YOU, *PUNK?* " part, very nice detail Edit: why did i not notice 'detail' was misspelled earlier it's been 2 months waugh--
@@celestiag.thomas-johnson7067 Nopeity for both of you,Plants dont have gender,plus Audrey 2 is an Alien,and even if it has a gender it might not conform to earth genders
I had to play Seymour for a recorded bit for this song and of all the videos on youtube I could find, this one was the most excellent and inspirational. Thank-you so much! This is an absolutely fantastic performance.
Aaron and Matt Doyle should really do a cover on this song because this performance of Aaron and rob on stage is real good wish I could be there to see the show myself also Aaron really makes a good twoey cause he sounds a lot like Levi Stubbs with a bit of a touch there. Also this is showing how much heart soul and effort Aaron is putting into the role cause he must have seen the movie and play and known all the lines of the plant
I saw this show and Moulin Rouge within a night of each other....I enjoyed this one more!!! everyone was so great and "the plant" was amazing to watch! cute little theater, too. can't wait to see it again!
I saw this a few months ago.. and loved it so much... we went to see it again two days later... didn't see this particular Seymour..Matt Doyle..... but just as good if not better than this guy...
I am an echolalliac and can imitate the film's Audrey Two better than this. That said, I don't know enough about stage theater and if it is poor taste to imitate. Idk
As someone who does stage theatre, it’s not in bad taste to imitate, but it’s generally discouraged. It’s often all about like putting your own spin on the character
YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THE PLANT SOUNDS SO EVIL!!! AND AUDREY'S BOYFRIEND!!!!!!! WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW!!!!! :O so mean and so demanding!!!!! I FREAKING LOVE IT!!!and the MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM SURE YOU DO!!!!!was right on too!
I like the dentists lines better there too. Where he’s mad at Audrey for messing up his hair even though it looks the same as always. And the Elvis voice he does just lollllll
A failure. The author's note in the libretto literally says to play the material as honest and straight as possible as that is where the humour comes from, the contrast of the seriousness to the absurdity. It also says not to play Seymour as a Jerry Lewis type character. A closer comparison to Seymour I can think of is a balding middle-aged Peter Parker without superpowers, and his "with great power" lesson comes from his selfish actions leading to a great personal loss and the fall of humanity. You have overacted everything and are playing everything so silly, it's a disgrace to Ashman's wishes and to the show. You have dialed the silliness to 11. Pasadena, 2003 Broadway, 2009 England, and 1982 Off-Broadway hit a better balance. Heck even the 1987 Japanese show while played sillier than those still kept it under control more than this. If you want this show to be funny, and to do the show authentically, you have to play it straight, because that's what makes the material funny and makes it hit.
Cool. I respect your opinions and it seems you have a more wider range of knowledge when it comes to this show, and I commend that but I think that Rob McClure is a fantastic Seymour. (I re-edited my words because I thought I sounded too mean, sorry LOL)
@@seymourkrelborn4780 Yeah probably but I'd say he's trying his best and he's already left like yesterday or by this week. Which is something I hate because they are constantly switching Seymours(it gets annoying)
This show has consistently made super bizarre casting choices for Seymour. While I saw the show twice and loved both of the Seymours that I saw (Skylar Aston and Evan Alexander Smith), Jonothan groff and Jeremy Jordan don't fit the character of Seymour in the slightest and for a while they were a big part of the shows advertising It seems like they're just abandoning the original source material and taking all of the characters in an entirely new direction (especially with Seymour and Audrey [Tammy Blanchard]) and I don't know how I feel about it
@@hex0578 Skylar Astin was an amazing Seymour, loved him. I do agree, while I love Jonathan and Jeremy's voices they don't fit Seymour's character type at all.
The puppeteer using their legs for the vines gives me life
This technique was actually used for the Broadway production back in 2003.
The "DOES THIS LOOK INANIMATE TO YOU, PUNK" was absolutely everything
I think there are 3-4 people in there (I’m not sure)
@@amelialister1220 For this production, the plant is animated by two people.

Man, the articulation of that puppeteer. The amount of syllables they got HAS to be a record for any live Audrey II performance.
This puppeteer in my opinion is tied for best Twoey ever with the puppeteer who did it for the original 1982-87 production. That one also looked so seamless that it’s insane (you can find a recording of it on RUclips).

I so totally agree with you man he even sounds a lot like Levi Stubbs which is the voice of Audrey 2 in the movie
Aaron Arnell Harrington should really do a cover of this song with Matt Doyle chase Aaron is really killing the role of Audrey 2
I loved how he threw in a little Frank Oz in there too!

The puppeteer for Audrey 2 was AMAZING! So expressive!
Both of them!
We need an official pro shot of this show
this is pretty good cameragrophy for them only scene they released!!! so hopefully!
That voice of the plant is buttery smooth.
Rob's so fucking good in this role it's unfair
Omg - Twooey's voice, the puppetry, Seymour's reactions, the choir, SO GOOD!
I love how everyone agrees that the plant has a deep jazz singer voice
I love how many people make their own version of this performance.

Just saw this show tonight. Absolutely masterful. The cast was having the time of their lives and it showed!

me too! We loved it so much... we went back two days later!!
But we saw Matt Doyle and Joy Woods... just fantastic!

He might have girl name, but that plant is definitely male.
It's from the 2003 broadway production which is way better than this one I think that might even be the same exact model of Audrey 2

I love this plant's actor!!
We love Rob McClure 😫😫
Seymour is acting his heart out

This plant is nothing short of amazing...Hysterical
The perfect musical.
"Orin that hurt!"
Every time that line is said in any production I always have to say,
"Oh really? That's not what I was going for"
aaron arnell harrington really makes a good Audrey 2 and he’s a very good singer
Best musical by far.
Please release the full show!
this audrey 2 puppet (and puppeteer) is awesome!! its movements are on point
Please let this be a hint of a pro-shot!!
Was there Sunday for Rob’s last show. What a fun time!!! Y’all go see this show!!!!
his face at 4:09 kills me its so good
It would be great to get George salazar as a replacement down the road and orfeh as Audrey 2. I saw Rob on Saturday and the cast was great.
as audrey 2? or audrey
He is already in a production though
Proshot! NOW!!!!!!!!!
Rob is so awesome!
I saw this live in New York two weeks ago phenomenal
How difficult it must be for that man to sit inside of that plant suit and move like that.
This version of Twoey is eating it up (literally)
Damn Seymour was freaking incredible in this. Damn 😍🥰🥰😍😊😁😁
Oh God that was the funniest stage slap I think I've ever seen I think that might make up for the fact that orin doesn't sound gay enough
Best thing on (off) Broadway of the past few years!!
Seymour wearing converse is so iconic lmao
3:39
*my ear randomly"
i love the laughing 😭😭😭
Aaron Harrington’s voice is butter on pancakes!
My favorite musical in NYC

I Just did the same!! 😂 🎉
That feed me is amazing its almost animalistic and hellbent like hes just dying for blood
2:34
Was half expecting the singer to break into Solja Boy for a sec
I’m so excited as I recently got into a production of little shop of horrors as the Audrey 2 puppeteer in Sydney
3:45 was that Bryce as Orin?
Idk
It seemed to be!
I loved this!
I'm so glad I saw this whole thing irl
That slap looked real..
Can you post Now(it’s just the gas!)? It’s my favorite song :D
You should post Tiffany's version of Twoey, she was amazing!
Such a fantastically ridiculous show. I love it.
So cool

No body can touch Levi Stubbs.

Was this Major Attaway?
This is Aaron Harrington
ANOTHER WIN FOR LESBIANS EVERYWHERE
