Amazon.co.uk Review
This version of the soundtrack to the hit musical is from the stage production, which ended rather differently than the movie: just about the entire cast (except for the backup singers) winds up as lunch for the hungry plant. As a result, this CD lacks the song "Mean Green Mother from Outer Space", which was written for the film. Instead, the recording closes with "Don't Feed the Plants", which is much more in keeping with the spirit of the rest of the musical. Little Shop of Horrors explores a wide variety of musical styles, from the rhumba-inflected "Mushnik and Son" to the I'm-on-Broadway ballads "Somewhere That's Green" and "Suddenly Seymour". The most spirited numbers are those that feature the trio of back-up singers, who perform on the title track "Skid Row", "Da-Doo", "The Meek Shall Inherit" and other numbers with considerable energy. The recording loses something if you haven't actually seen the stage production but hearing this CD will give you an excellent reason to do so. --Genevieve Williams

Customer Reviews

Amazon Product Description wrong!
Please ignore the Product Description by Amazon.co.uk - it says on there that 'Mean Green Mother from Outer Space' is replaced with 'Don't Feed the Plants', which on this CD it ISN'T!!! 'Mean Green Mother' is on this CD, as this CD is the movie soundtrack, not the Original Broadway soundtrack. If you are looking for the stage soundtrack, this isn't it. It's very good though - love the voice of the Plant, and Rick Moranis is brilliant.

Nice music, superb actors, production not so good.
I loved so much the movie that couldn't forget the music, so I had to get the soundtrack and I really enjoyed it. It's only after several listenings that you notice the production could be richer and the arrengements better finished. Maybe it's the time since the recording was done or, I guess, some my argue that the simplicity of some songs is a part of the charm of Little Shop of Horrors.
