"Feed Me" Little Shop of Horrors (AMAZING Audrey 2!!!!)

The puppet was rented.

[@jazzdaddycriticisms7049]

Actually, the puppet design itself in this particular form is harder to work with than the solid puppets. The floppy ones, like this one, generally are more difficult to deal with because you need to evenly distribute your arm and find a way to keep hold and have so many subtle nuances to make it work properly. However, most solid ones have two rods you hold onto which makes the weight distributed and make the movement easier to handle. So, I'd say this particular puppet design doesn't work as well. What REALLY makes it is the puppeteer because they can handle such a puppet SO WELL. Because they had all the subtleties, so much personality, so much movement. And the voice actor REALLY DID bring so much to the table. It's just wonderful.

[@Molls-ng6bc]

Looking at that I just put together that they’re the puppeteers feet. You can see his knees and feet once you look at it hard but it’s amazing! They truly transformed him into a plant.

[@DodgeThisBam]

@@DodgeThisBamI just watched a video today called “Audrey II puppet guide”, where the creator of the puppets shows how each of the 4 pod plants work. It’s made for theatre companies to use but it’s really cool to see how they work. I recommend watching it!

[@benjamincruz6921]

This is hands down the best puppetry for Audrey II I have ever seen thus far!!!! Whoever is doing it gives the plant so much character and actually made me believe that it was ALIVE!!! Every movement of the head and roots are amazing and when the plant tapped his roots to the beat of the music, I was dying of laughter. If anyone ever does this show and becomes the puppeteer or the voice of Audrey, they need to see this video.

Thank you for this amazing puppetry of our Audrey II plant #3! The designer of this very plant, Dennis Lancaster, knows what he is doing. We enjoy renting 4 full sets all over the nation for almost 20 years now. They are lightweight, lifelike and flexible which sets them apart from any others for rent. And they still look this good! Bravo to the puppeteer!

I'm actually part of a show that covers this. there's usually multiple people in the plant, for the voice and the different movements. we have 3, the vines, the mouth, and the voice. the leaves are usually switched to when the vines aren't moving.

[@SpiderBite90x]

[@photobygil]

Lots of fun, fresh bits here, but my favorites are Audrey II's uncontrollable tremor of anticipation at around 2:10, and the unexpected root tapping its 'foot' in time to the music when Seymour starts singing at around 4:20. Hilarious!

[@FlowersInHisHair]

The laughter at 2:52 is so natural and well-synced too. The audience's astonishment is audible. The plant operator/s and voice have really put in the work in rehearsals.

[@keyosuke]

My version of the plant voice is just like this, but the puppeteer is extremely good. To open and close the mouth that fast and that often means it must have been a very light plant puppet or the guy operating it was an Olympic endurance runner that happened to also participate in the weight lifting events.

[@jazzdaddycriticisms7049]

It has to be the puppeteer that made it work. Because this puppet is inheritely floppy. So, to make it work, you need a puppeteer that has an understanding of how regular puppetry works, then they have to be able to blow it up ten times the size.

[@keyosuke]

My point exactly. This is an outstanding Audrey II puppeteer. The voice and singing are really good, but the movement is top of class.

[@intermissionproductions9441]

We agree the puppeteer is amazing, however, our particular Audrey 2 plant #3 is remarkably easier to work with than any others in the nation.

[@TheIndigoSystem]

If he's looking for fresh blood, he could visit a local butcher shop, or, failing that, a slaughterhouse. I'd imagine they'd sell him buckets of blood. It would be profit they could make from something they'd likely otherwise wash away for free anyway. Audrey 2 never answers if it has to be human.

My god, Seymour is APPALLING. STEALING FOCUS. Making every line a LINE. But, the puppeteer is phenomenal. The Voice Of The Plant is also great (they’re two different people). I was TVOTP myself once, regionally, and the puppeteer (the original Off-B’way puppeteer) and I spent HOURS on coordination. I had to lock in my vocals pretty quick and sing them exactly the same at every performance. He was incredibly sensitive, very musical, was very good at nuance and following riffs. He was also an amazing athlete with, for a tall, in shape guy, ginormous arms.

[@steventutty8875]

this puppeteering and voice is LEGENDARY status

[@WillieManga]

Ironically this Semour seems a bit too over the top. It's ok on its own for a comical character, but not really fitting his usual personality. Usually you can see the dilemma and turmoil he goes through, but in this version he's trying to capture too much of his goofy side, one more fitting for Anything Goes or something. At least Audrey II is still as delightfully evil as we can hope for her with her charisma and energy.

[@kdeggraham895]

I agree. He’s overplaying it a little.

[@carlotta4th]

Ooh, clever puppet and puppeteering! Looks like he's sitting with his legs being the roots, so I'd guess that he uses his whole arm/arms to move the mouth up and down. Puppeteer head is in the top of the puppet and just naturally holds up the top part of the mouth, so really they only need to control the bottom mouth of the plant. Boy that's a lot of arm movement though. It's got to be exhausting.

[@thattheatrenerd1418]

There’s so much life that they can bring to this plant. I was a tech on our production so i set this plant every day and yeah plant #4 looked sorta weird BUT number 2 and 3 were insane.
