    The puppet was impressive. Until it leaned down and PICKED MUSHNIK CLEAN OFF THE GROUND. Then it became a master piece. GODDAMN.

    I think that the voice of Audrey was supposed to be sort a sweet-talker. Levi Stubbs did a good job with Audrey II. I rather think that the voice of this Audrey II is deceptively soothing and reminiscent of vinegar.

    Personally, I think its mouth movements could be more animated, but I don't care, this is a GREAT Audrey II puppet. The BEST I have seen outside the movie! Major kudos to the people who have built it, and to the people operating it!
    The puppet definitely makes up for the lackluster acting!

    This puppet behaves EXACTLY like a version I was trying to design myself, just a couple of weeks before this video appeared. One that snatches up the characters instead of them having to crawl in. This is an amazing Audrey II puppet.

    @ovationplayers  16 лет назад

    One operator inside the head moves the jaws up and down. Another standing behind the head with stirrups and reins controls head movement. At the end of the 15 ft. chute are 4 more operators that control pivot movement and counterbalance the head with sandbags. It's quite a ride and you plop out on a mattress.

    Ok everyone is saying that Audrey 2s voice sucks, it really doesn’t. He’s an awesome singer, it just is a very unique choice for Audrey 2’s voice. Whoever hosted the show must have actively chosen that actor as the best choice on hand for that voice.

    @puppetmaker77
    The Broadway remount, done the same year as this community theater production, used a hydraulic puppet that actually extended over the audience.
    Ours, designed by an engineer from surplus yard parts, used six human operators (two of whom were embedded in the head) a cantilevered system, and was praised by people who saw BOTH shows as being the better of the two.
    BTW, our system is simple enough that with training, has been used in HS productions without our assistance.

    Uhh, the mouth puppeteer is strapped in so he doesn't fall out when the head tilts down. And it takes a lot of reps to sustain the lip synch.
    But if you have built a better manual puppet design, we'd love to see it in action!

  • @shadytradesman
    @shadytradesman 15 лет назад +1

    You'd think with a plant of that caliber that the direction of the play would have been handled better. I lost all urgency during this scene. Did the actors take sleeping pills before they performed?
    This scene is where mushnik tries to cut seymour out of the picture by getting him indicted for murder, and seymour is KILLING his DAD! Could the stakes have been higher? If this is what the play is like at this point, I wonder just how slow it got other times.
    Still not an awful performance.
