A.M.A.Z.I.N.G! Everything from the design, mobility, and voice of the plant was perfect! Seymore was great too but whoever operated that plant deserves an award
The head of an audrey 2 like that one isn't very heavy its made of a lightweight foam and frame that can be manipulated quite easily the tricky part is to get the movements to sync with the voice actor
THis is the best one i've seen. The others don't time the plant's mouth right and the voices don't harmonize to me but this one was just perfect.I especially like Seymour's voice.
I️ loved that his legs were in the vine things and the puppet was amazing! Moving around like that so much must have shed off a few pounds during the whole process ;) 😂
You're consistent! Bill Remington was also the "STAR" of the LSoH revival on Broadway!! ( Told me I'm his favorite....) SHHHHH....let's keep this to ourselves... ;)
Both your and Seymour's vocals were startlingly good! Especially after Orin and Audrey's dialogue, (which just so happens to be my favorite part.) Incredible work.
The puppeteer also puppeteered Audrey II in the 2003 Broadway Revival. The puppet is designed by some of the people for the National Tour. The voice was done by someone coached by the guy who performed Audrey II's voice for the movie. (RIP to both, Maxx Mann and Levi Stubbs.)
Fan-Tas-Tic. One of the best "Feed Me" versions I have seen here on YT. Vocals were great all around on this one. No complaints. Extra thumbs up to Mr. Mann for his performance of Audrey II. This part definitely calls for someone with a solid soulful voice and you nailed it. BTW, was this a tour production? local theatre?
In the time I'm watching this, I'm studying up for when I do Audrey II's voice for my school play. Wish me luck, internet! Edit: Stupid virus... I never got to perform...
My favorite musical, and my favorite song from it. The 1986 movie was really good. Now I'm excited because there is conformation of a REMAKE happening. Can't wait!!!!! FEED ME!!!
I saw an English Production when my family lived in Japan. The actor they had for Seymore still had a rather similar dorky resemblance to Rick Moranis.
Ironically, the puppeteer is Bill Remington, who also puppeteered Audrey II in the Broadway revival. Not just that, but the puppet is made by Monkey Boys Productions. The puppet company founded by some of the people who helped worked on the Broadway puppets. It’s also designed after it as well.
Really good. I will be Audrey 2 in the theatre in July in Peru. I am watching some videos and learn more about Audrey 2 and her voice. I do not have a strong voice but, I can try, so I think that your video can help me with my presentation. Thank you!
as for where they keep them I’m not sure whether you mean at the company (I’m not sure) or at my school but either way the answer is probably with TONS OF ROOM TO MOVE. How they work? The first puppet in grow for me is a simple hand puppet that the bottom comes out when you put it in a table with a little hole in it (easy to understand.) the second puppet is operated by Seymour in ya never know, it has a fake hand that you connect a sleeve to, and Seymour operates it during the number with his actual hand. The git it puppet in this video is basically a bench inside a pot. The mouth is the hands (clap hands above your head and that’s how the mouth works) and those little vines are the puppeteers legs from inside. The fourth puppet (the BIG one) is more complicated. The back is how the whole thing gets lifted to basically float, it’s a pull down that’s counterweighted on the main body. Inside the mouth is basically the same system to move the bottom jaw (the top jaw would take too much energy and you only make it talk when it’s lifted so it works out well.) I’m not personally in the puppet so I’m not totally sure on how the inside of the last one works, but from what I can tell it’s basically two bars you pull apart and the eating people part comes from a little opening in the mouth. On closer inspection, you can see a cloth with some Velcro in there. Once somebody gets eaten, it’s opened and they basically slide through and go out through the back of the plant. And that’s basically it!
That was perfect! One of the best versions I have ever seen! Having seen the videos from the guys who made Audrey 2 I have nothing but admiration for the puppeteer, just knowing his legs are the tentacles and what he must be going through in that puppet, wow!
@@invic564 because they controlled audrey 2 very well. puppets of those size tend to be on the heavier side so it’s most likely required to use their whole body to operate it properly and that quickly.
@@tigerpippy237 just try to memorise all the plant lines and watch the person who is doing the vocals to see how they are doing it and try to capture the emotion through the plant! just have fun with it! i really enjoyed it
