October 06 production of Little Shop of Horrors... not too shabby if I say so myself! Seymour - Seth David Audrey II (Voice) - Jason Crawford Audrey II (Puppet) - Liz Moyer
And to a certain extent, you're right. I think there are a large amount of ways to play a given role. However, I also think that there are objectively wrong choices an actor can make. Now, I'm not saying that those particularly were made in the movie. I just happen to not like it. But all I was commenting on earlier is that I think the choices made on broadway were far superior to those made in the movie.
What you said, though, implied that the plant from the movie didn't stay true to the music and script. I thought the movie-plant's sound was a good choice. The is no right and wrong way to play the character as long as the actor takes the proper steps to prepare himself (or herself) for the part.
As an actor, I agree with you. However, you've completely missed my point. I don't think he should emulate anything, I just think that the plant should sing soulfully and funky, because that's the style of music that's being played for him to sing to, and to be honest, that's how his character is written. So, yes, act, but also stay true to the the script and the music.
So rather than emulating the movie, you should emulate the Broadway production? Here's an idea. Act. Make a character you can have fun with that has interesting motivations. Something you can play as an actor and go from there. Face it, people don't go to high school musicals for the singing talent. They either go because their kid's in it or they go to see the unique energy that you can't find in professional theatre.
Is this a She-mour (Semour)? Oh sorry, just saw the desc. Either way it makes me sad that more guys don't don't try out for drama. I mean, anyone could do well in a part, I'm not trying to be sexist er whatever, but it can be harder to accept the role when uh... "cross-cast". Great job tho, to all in this production! Did anyone goto a school where the drama and choir consisted of "the popular crowd" like Saved by the Bell? I always wondered when I joined the "freaks and geeks" <3 at my HS.
My God, someone who agree's. By trying to emulate another actor, your just going to fail. Miserably. And thats why most of the people who play Audrey II suck ass.

That implication was on purpose. I thought the movie was absolute garbage, personally.
