Sudden Changes / Feed Me (Get It) - Eddie Cooper & Jake Gyllenhaal - LSOH - Encores! Off Center

[@guyhandsome43]

He lets out that perfect Levi Stubbs laugh and everyone simultaneously realizes it's going to be awesome.

[@Moteris80]

Never thought of Jake Gyllenhaal playing Seymore, but now that I have seen it. HOLY HELL HE IS A PERFECT CHOICE! He just kills it at the role!

[@pleaserewind295]

He is legit one of those actors I think has crossed the place of being able to do it all.

[@michaelwilliamybarra2409]

I say it be awesome if he kicked the stand down as he said "punk"! I mean it just felt like a good button moment(like with Hamilton dropping a stack of papers to the ground after "Sit Down John, you FAT MOTHER______"), but it's still a great performance of that line, I agree!

[@julieporter7805]

Well he can't move fully yet. He hasn't been fed enough at this point. It's only after he eats Orin and Mushnik that he moves out of the pot.

[@ironicandpunny1080]

[@stormbob]

Few people could upstage Jake Gyllenhaal as thoroughly and completely as Eddie Cooper.

[@katie-ellen8251]

jake is an unbelievable singer

[@notsusan]

OK this is absolutely the best Audrey II other than Levi Stubbs that I've ever heard. Jake was surprisingly good too, this was a really good cast overall

[@codymeares2056]

that is litaraly the best Audrey 2 besides the movie one

[@Newjourney14]

its the same guy from the movie :)

[@JavierPerez-cx4jw]

newjourney7 No it isn't. Movie was done by Levi Stubbs. This is Edie Cooper. Easy mistake tho, they sound pretty damn similar.

[@Newjourney14]

yeah I realized unfortunately after i wrote the comment. so sad :(

[@14mespider9]

Yeah, but it's so weird seeing Audrey II as a human. I can't even tell if it's how Seymour sees Twoey in his mind.

[@lindapoplin9961]

He be cool for the remake that there are planning the Guy playing Audrey 2

[@georgeabud8320]

Eddie Cooper is everything. Give him more parts. GOOD parts.

[@4dultw1thj0b]

It's both weird and kinda cool to see an actual guy as Twoey! As ridiculous as the shoestring budget is in this, it's kinda neat to see it all stripped down like this.

[@saidokurakutm3328]

it's a concert not exactly a show

[@4dultw1thj0b]

Sure, but I've seen some pretty upscale concerts!

[@saidokurakutm3328]

AlwaysGonnaSing​​ But for a reunion, the were some off Broadway puppet s shown I was glad to see them

[@bookwoman53]

It's great to see the actor playing Twoey. When you can hear his voice and watch the expressions on the actor's face the performance is more complete.

[@markhiermann7708]

Ga

[@briantownsend6193]

His last "So go get it" - amazing.

[@dumbdumb8526]

These two would be PERFECT for the new movie. Why didn’t they cast them??? Jake would be their star name, is a fun actor, is great for the role and interprets the character in a fun way. Eddie is comparable to some of the greatest Audrey II’s (including Levi Stubbs), plus he brings a Disney villain vibe to the role (which I am a sucker for).

[@brothlcreeprs]

They're doing a new movie???

[@brothlcreeprs]

@Greg Elchert well, I'm absolutely not happy on any of that casting but thanks for letting me know! Haha.

[@tysargent9647]

@Greg Elchert Bad news: the remake's been cancelled.

[@bondfool]

Eddie’s getting a lot of well-deserved praise, but this is my favorite performance of Seymour’s part of this song.

[@lynnspring2378]

It’s criminal that there’s no album with this cast.

[@baylee4685]

god the talent in this is impeccable and brilliant but the way he’s just holding the little plant is having me SENT

[@chriscarnicelli7714]

A little disconcerting to see a man instead of a huge plant..but..I like!.

[@janeyrevanescence12]

+Chris Carnicelli my all-girls summer camp did a production of LSOH and they had less than half a shoe-string budget. Their Twoey was just the girl sitting in a cardboard box with fake ivy wrapped around her and green plant slathered on her face. But she stole the show.

[@spasticpug5209]

I actually like seeing that guy This may be one of my favorite live renditions

[@ginasannino2089]

@@janeyrevanescence12 that's similar to what I'm doing in my production. The Twoey actress will be on a perch above the plant in plain sight while the puppeteer is hidden

[@lonelyb0nezz]

6:35 THAT WAS SO RAW HOLY SHIT

[@MeleeStormbringer]

oh man he is GOOOOD. He got that super villain laugh and everything! I played the plant in a production many years ago. Honestly this song was the most difficult for me. I kept getting tongue tied on the line "you know the kind of eats, the kind of red hot sweets, the kind of sticky licky treats I crave" That line damn near killed me! And the special effect got a curtain call before I did. I walked out and the audience was like "who TF is that?" Good times....

[@lmelime]

i played the dentist and the plant, and when people read the program and saw my name for the plant people didn't recognize my voice at all LOL

[@coastercraziness]

@@lmelime dang you got both???? I’m sure you probably had pretty great chemistry with Seymour by the end of it haha

[@lmelime]

[@coastercraziness]

@@lmelime oh that makes it even better. I’m doing Seymour (we’re doing it next fall), our Orin is someone I’m really good friends with and our Audrey 2 is someone I’m also close with. Any words of advice to make working with someone that’s not on stage easier?

[@lmelime]

@@coastercraziness i mean just really focus on being able to cooperate with your director and stage crew, while simultaneously being able to retain the character you're playing. relationship-wise, I just focused on making small talk and stuff when appropriate and it makes it a lot more comfortable on stage

Lyrics: Feed me Feed me Feed me Feed me, Seymour. Feed me all night long. "That's right, boy!" You can do it... Feed me, Seymour. Feed me all night long... 'Cause if you feed me, Seymour, I can grow up, big and strong. Would you like a Cadillac car? Or a guest-shot on Jack Paar? How about a date with Hedy Lamarr... You gonna git it. How'd ya like to be a big wheel? Dining out, for every meal. I'm the plant can make it all real. You're gonna git it. Hey, I'm your genie. I'm your friend. I'm your willin' slave... Take a chance, feed me, yeah. You know the kinda eats, The kinda ret-hot treats, The kinda sticky licky, sweets I crave... Ow! Come on, Seymour, Don't be a putz! Trust me and your life will surely Rival King Tut's. Show a little initiative, boy, Work up some guts, And you'll git it. I don't know. I don't know. I have so... so many strong... reservations. Should I go... and perform... mutilations? Think about a room at the Ritz, Wrapped in velvet, covered in glitz. A little nookie gonna clean up those zits, And you'll git it... uh huh... Gee I'd like a Harley machine. Tooling around like I was James Dean. Makin' all the guys on the corner turn green! So, go git it! Woo woo woo! If you wanna be profound... If you really gotta justify... Take a breath and look around... A lot of folks deserve to die... Stupid woman! Christ, what a freakin' scatterbrain! I'm sorry, doctor! I'm sorry doctor! If you want a rationale, It isn't very hard to see. No, No, No... Stop and think it over, pal. The guy sure looks like plant food to me! The guy sure looks like plant food to me! The guy sure looks like plant food to me...! He's so nasty treatin' her rough! Smackin' her around, and always talkin' so tough! You need blood and he's got more than enough! I need blood and he's got more than enough! You/I need blood and he's got more than enough! So Go Git it

love this. Jake G is pretty awesome as Seymore. So understated. Love the 'theatre' moment of forgetting his lines. Is this a rehearsal??? does anyone know the story behind the scripts on stage? There is an audience so is confusing.

[@CraigRMcDowall]

From what I’ve heard, the cast had very little time to rehearse. It’s quite obvious during CLOSED FOR RENOVATION. As some of them forget their lines. But it’s quite common to have the use of scripts during Concert performances :)

[@OptimusPhillip]

I still can't get past the whole scripts on stage thing. I get that it's a concert, not a stage play, but I would appreciate it if they at least took the time to learn the lyrics.

[@josshoskie]

I watched this video and timed how long each actor used their script. In the span of 6 minutes and 45 seconds, Jake held his script for about a 1 minute and 4 seconds, and actually only used (read it) it for about 18 seconds, 8 seconds of which was spent flipping through the script to find their place (as no one had used it in a good amount of time), only for the scene before the song. Eddie, Ellen, and Taran, meanwhile, never used any. I see where you're coming from, but I think them not knowing the lyrics / lines is almost a non issue.

[@scottishphotographer]

They had six days of rehearsal and four performances over two days; not a lot of time to prep, particularly if you have a schedule like Mr Gyllenhaal's. It's completely standard practice to have performers on the book at concerts.

[@bondfool]

It’s also contractual. It’s legally only a concert if they’re using scripts.

[@MizzJuneMusic]

Understandable. But, staged readings are typical.

[@maskedmarvyl4774]
