Little Shop Of Horrors - Somewhere That's Green

[hufflepuffninja]

@samsamsamtheman Are you serious? Ellen Greene's voice makes me want to pound my head against the wall! She's way too whiny when she sings, especially Suddenly Seymour. Kerry Butler is a lot better!

[samsamsamtheman]

I'm sorry, I love Ellen Greene's voice better, she's too giddy :/ She's great though <3

[13maggiepurple]

THREE WORDS O M G!!!!!

[Tohoshi22Productions]

Kerry Butler + LSOH = sooooo gooood

[Ballerina4015]

i have to sing this for my individual event at junior thespian festival!! and she is the first person that sings this song GOOD(:

[UberSharkyGirl]

Kerry's a great singer but sometimes she lacks real emotion.

[ruggerdgmail]

I have seen both Ellen Green and Kerry. Sorry to disagree with most but Kerry comes out on top as far as I'm concerned. They were both great but Kerry was amazing.

[ruggerdgmail]

I saw it with the original cast. She was UNBELIEVABLE!! The entire cast was.  It's a shame it closed so soon. It was one of the most entertaining show's I'd seen. Just a lot of fun.

[WonderfulLizardOfOz]

I would also like to thank iluvlittleshop921 for her stunning intellectual prowess in posting "whatever!!! [sic]". It acts very well as a counterpoint to my argument.

[iluvlittleshop921]

@WonderfulLizardOfOz You're welcome, WonderfulLizardOfOz!!!

[WonderfulLizardOfOz]

Kerry Butler was a semi-acceptable Audrey (I'm not letting her off the hook for her fucking up of STG Reprise. Admittedly that blame could go to the director, but I'm more inclined to dislike Kerry Butler because of her annoying fandom), but why are her fans usually so thick? These people clearly aren't real fans of LSOH, they're fans of Kerry Butler, and they often even insult LSOH (and Ellen Greene, the original and to date best well-known Audrey) in the process of complimenting her.

[imaGLEEK91]

I wish I had seen this on Brodaway

[pssh098]

i love kerry butler. ellen greene's singing voice honestly drove me a little crazy :/ it was awesome for a character voice, just a little annoying...

[LynneSFox]

The BEST Audrey. Her voice is, in my opinion perfect for this role.

Some of the lines are really funny, but it is ultimately quite tragic that she has this little dream of getting away from her hell. So I agree with @WonderfulLizardOfOz it's a tragedy, but is funny in some of the lines.

[IluvLadyandGinger]

Opposite of Ellen Greene, Kerry Butler is the BEST Audrey i have ever seen!

[Red41658]

Shes good but no one is better than the original Audrey Ellen Greene!!

[crazypsychospartan12]

@Red41658 yea.. true... but Ellen Greene was annoying at times, though she had a great voice! I think Kerry Butler has an amazing voice! Ellen Greene, especially in Suddenly Seymour, kind of screeched at times :/

[Lizanne46]

What makes Kerry so spectacular in any and all roles she portrays is that she makes each and everyone of them her own.THat and the fact that she has an incredible voice makes her the broadway superstar that she is ;-)

[DefyGravity827]

i'm not a huge fan of how she delivered the beginning of the song. but once it got going she sounded so good! she's spectacular

[WonderfulLizardOfOz]

@abc123abc123youme This particular theatrical production is basically my religion. I have made a promise to attend it at least once a year. Attacks on my beliefs regarding this play are attacks on the base of my being. I take this play very seriously and find the idea that it is a silly comedy grating.

[WonderfulLizardOfOz]

@BellatrixNellieLovet I am not debating that Little Shop of Horrors, and by extension the character Audrey, is comedic. I am merely debating that comedy is in any way the focus of either. Little Shop of Horrors is fundamentally a tragedy, and the emotional climax is Audrey's death, the saddest fictional scene I have personally witnessed. People that minimize that are most certainly evil or ignorant.

[WonderfulLizardOfOz]

@iluvlittleshop921: BLOOD PRESSURE RISING.... Audrey is NOT in ANY WAY a COMICAL role! She is the most emotional role in the history of theatre! Her death scene is the saddest thing ever. People that play this role for laughs are EVIL and MUST DIE!

[BellatrixNellieLovet]

@WonderfulLizardOfOz audrey defines comedy. youre dumb

[abc123abc123youme]

@WonderfulLizardOfOz

haha you need to calm down , its by no means the most emotional roles in theatre... i think you are being quite narrow minded about this , go watch some actual theatre hunny. shes supposed to be funny cause shes so pathetic

[iluvlittleshop921]

@TheJarredAndEvanShow and where did u get the 20th Anniversary CD? Please let me know!

[iluvlittleshop921]

@TheJarredAndEvanShow I...WANT...IT!!!!

[LovelyTeddy13]

I like how she doesn't try to imitate any other version of Audrey, and that she makes it her own.

[angerbot]

acceptable 

[funnystuflover]

Please post the entire show on youtube. Please.

[WonderfulLizardOfOz]

@westsidestory97 ..are you implying Audrey is a bad role? Because if you are, you can just fuck right off.

[iluvlittleshop921]

@WonderfulLizardOfOz  I agree with you! Audrey's not bad! She's COMICAL!

[funnystuflover]

Do you have the entire play?

[westsidestory97]

Kerry is way too pretty and talented to play Audrey. <3

[samrodm98]

Beautiful!!!

[AbiLovesYouLots]

How old is audrey supposed to be?

[kosmoboi]

GORGEOUS amazing performance..WOW!

[MelancholyBaby21]

The 50th anniversary CD? lol the show first opened in 1982 lol. The original movie was in the 60's...but was certainly not a musical

[myttyhuiz]

She is awesome.

[2flambeedfritos]

Nice job!...also check out Shayla Nolan doing somewhere thats green! She's great!

[MilliScenes]

Very good singing, but she needs to be moving around more. She has the whole stage so use it! I feel it would have been more effect if she used the stage more. Just honest critique.

[SteAndKel]

@MilliScenes definately not. this is audrey's moment... she is thinking about her dream.

its emotional to her and she needs to do nothing but sit and listen to herself speak about it. her walking around the stage would be unnecessary and distracting from the song.

it even says in the stage directions 'audrey sits and sings'.

[MilliScenes]

@SteAndKel just because the stage directions say that does not mean you have to do it that way. :)

[SteAndKel]

@MilliScenes but they are there for a reason... cos it looks good and thats the way the author wanted it lol

[pianorick]

@MilliScenes  Well, the actor doesn't get to pick how their blocking goes. I'm guessing the director chose to have this one piece as an "in one" for contrast. Everything else in the show uses the whole stage. I think the moment is very inviting to the audience.

[ImJenniferAniston]

This is a crap video. She sounds amazing live.

[lonelyoptimist99]

if she cant sing, then why is she famous for doing a revival of this show? she's obviously got SOME talent....just sayin...

[XxlaughatusxX]

I play audrey in my school play :) shes like who i look up too (; im nervous, and i love this song<3

[cdawgisarockstar]

I think she's awesome.

[chrissanfordsings]

She's not innocent enough - and too much vowel shaping!

[Saigon10185]

ELLEN GREEN rocks.

[Saigon10185]

this girl is really bad!!!!

people.....watch the details!!!!

[TeamSeymour]

Both Kerry Butler and Ellen Green are like my idols!

[wbboy29]

Kerry Butler is AMAZING!!! She put so much heart into this.

[suesuesue1964]

check out the hayley griffiths version!

[Pinkpanda73]

if a 12-inch was enormous back then, if they to the futrue i wonder how are they gonna react to a tv that 's x3 bigger!

[Saigon10185]

not liking her at all

[littleshopluver921]

And why are some people being opinionated about Kerry Butler vs. Ellen Greene?

[Saigon10185]

there is no comparison

[Nikibutterflygirl]

What the hell is with the cameraman?

[lawdawgjason]

She really sells it, and has a nice voice. Her voice will mature over time.

[Saigon10185]

no heart...... broadway flop

[VinnyG113]

Just because you didn't like her doesn't mean it's a "flop." She has developed a good character and maintains it through the song. The character she has developed can laugh at the dreams of hers that she knows may be a little far fetched but can also convey her hopes of a better life away from the man who beats and verbally abuses her. If this isn't a good characterization, if she didn't give any heart, then I doubt anyone ever has and theater might as well cease to continue.

[tashiijay92]

Kerry Butler is absolutely fabulous

[iwantwhatiget]

Her voice sounds like a child's. It doesn't fit the character. Audrey is a woman, not a 13 year old. Her voice is amazing compared to this woman. Ellen Greene is Audrey, end of story.

[bomiaq777]

PRETTY VOICE

[RentandWicked]

awesome!

[BekaThePixie]

I love Audrey. She's probably one of my all time favorite characters

[littleshopluver921]

I'm a huge Audrey fan too! I love Seymour as well!

[rlewelling]

I absolutely agree.

She does not overdo it. She is by far one of the best Audrey's I've heard. Her voice is so crystal clear and clean. It's beautiful. At the end her acting is perfect on "Far from skid row". Beautiful.

[laneytakeabow]

i love how she sings with the voice of audrey but isn't annoying like several others I've seen. They try to overdo it...

[witchygrrl]

Oh, I really wanna shoot myself for not seeing this revival when Kerry was in it. Even through subpar video the acting here is amazing. I could almost swear she has tears in her eyes.

AWESOME CLIP!! :D

[jackolas2007]

Heyy do you have Ya Never Know to upload plleeeaaaase :)x

[littleshopluver921]

I WANT YA NEVER KNOW TOO!

[sgshitfl12]

NICE

[troybp]

I love seeing someone who actually makes the character of Audrey real. I have only seen it where Audrey has basically been a caricature and it always upsets me because she is such a realistic character. Great to see. It was actually believable.

[littleshopluver921]

Isn't Chiffon the one next to Audrey on her left?

[NortonCapsuleson]

this makes me so sad just listening to it.

its so funny, but really sad and nice aswell.

love itx

[Akuchan7]

I just played Audrey and I played the role much differently. But it was so awesome to see a completely different version of the character and played so well to boot!!! I guess that's what acting's all about! ^_^ Well done!

[machinegunvibrato]

wow real tears. she's phenomenal.

[Itsnotfair]

AMAZING!!!

[SlapMeHapE14]

Wow that was so good. One of the better performances I've seen

[BeJack90]

Absolutely fabulous job! =)

Sounds beautiful.

[ummdaisy]

Love her. What a mix she has. She acts this song so nicely, too. Wish I could have seen her in this role.

[KerryButlerRockz]

I so love kerry she so pretty ant talented i wanna be like he wen i'm older

[RAGETME2000]

Ellen Green is still the best to me i like Kerry she does a nice job

[MrMidwest]

Thanks so much for posting this.

[broadwaybby724]

The way she delivers some of her lines and punch lines in the song are PERFECT!

[liliekinz]

haha

i love this musical

definitely one of my favs

and everyone in the show is hilarious

[littleshopluver921]

I love this song! Can you please put up "Ya Never Know?" Thanks!

[littleshopluver921]

I love this whole show....end of story!
