Little Shop Rules

You can’t just be up there and just doin’ a wrong Little Shop like that.

1a.A *Little Shop of Horrors is when you

1b. Okay, well listen. A Little Shop of Horrors is when you shop the-

Let me start over.

We are watching the 1960 version.
The one with Jack Nicholson and zero songs.
You can't come in here expecting a plant to sing "Feed Me Seymour!"
1c-b.

Once you're in the #Monsterdon, you can’t be over here like,

I’m gonna quote the entire ‘Dentist!’ number, watch this!” and then act like you didn’t do a wrong *Little Shop.*

1c-b(1).

If you’re watching a Little Shop, and there’s suddenly music?
You did a wrong Little Shop.
You have to do the no music version.
You cannot not do the right version.

1c-b(2).

You gotta be, watching the 1960 version,
and then, until you just finish it.
No Frank Oz, no Rick Moranis, no giant puppet with vocal range.

1c-b(2)-a.

Okay, well, you can have the musical in your heart, like,
"Suddenly Seymour" is in there,
but then there’s the Wrong Little Shop you gotta think about.

1c-b(2)-b.

Roger Corman made this movie in two days on a dare
and there’s a guy who eats flowers
and it ends kind of just ending

-1c-b(2)-b(i).

Oh wait, Jack Nicholson is in it.
Briefly.
As a pain freak.
It’s weird.
1c-b(2)-b(ii).
“I always wanted a long, slow root canal!”– Jack Nicholson, 1960Haha, classic…

1c-b(3).

Okay seriously though.
The 1960 Little Shop of Horrors is not the one you think it is unless you’re thinking:
low-budget, black-and-white, no music, flower-munchin’ freak show.
And that’s what we’re watching.

 Do not do a wrong Little Shop please.

dating in 1960:

  • go on a first date to your mom's house for a dinner of cod liver oil and sulfur power
  • go on a second date staying overnight at your job
  • immediately married

is the main little shop of horrors like that???? does it end abruptly, no sense having been made, hiding amongst the toilet yard and then sacrificing yourself to become a face on the plant?????? #monsterdon

i generally agree with @Louisa , the 80s version with Steve Martin and Rick Moranis is better. I just wish they'd left in the 1982 stage musical's ending number, Don't Feed The Plants. (There is bootleg footage of the original ending out there, check it out - legendarily put onto early DVD copies which were all recalled because producer David Geffen hated it!)

I bet @JoeWynne knows this trivia.
