Little Shop of Horrors (w/ Alex Hare)

Rivka and Frank are joined by writer and director Alex Hare for a conversation about the anti-capitalist banger Little Shop of Horrors. They talk about the musical’s production history and how creators Alan Menken and Howard Ashman set out to write a musical that was critical of capitalist social relations. They also unpack the myriad metaphors of Audrey II, whether Seymour is a complicit actor or abuse victim, and the show’s original (and much darker) ending. 

For next week’s movie, we’ll be watching the 1998 Robert Zemeckis film Who Framed Roger Rabbit.
