A breakdown of the creative team, production history, character arcs, and music styles of my favorite show, Little Shop of Horrors!
This dark comedy sci-fi horror spoof by Howard Ashman and Alan Menken is a gem of show full of quirky characters and an effervescent score that perfectly intones the pop music styles of doo wop and rock ‘n roll in 1950’s and 1960’s.
But just why does this show “work?” What makes it tick?
In this episode, I discuss
- how each character’s “want” drives the action of the show
- which plot points are musicalized
- the popular music artists each character is similar to
- SPECIFIC AUDITION SONG IDEAS for each character
- In depth score analysis of “Skid Row” and “Grow For Me”
If you want to get a deeper understanding of how this ingenious show is put together, then press play now!
