" , Arthur ’s pleasure in receiving pain from Orin painfulness ruins all the fun .

" I did not spue Bill . I want to contrive somebody else , but David had already stray Bill .

Test Audiences Hated Oz’s Original Little Shop Of Horrors Ending

Oz gloss on the problems years by and by ,
" I had lost some perspective . David warned us in the very kickoff that the cease Howard and I both require to do should not be done . He said , ' You ca n’t kill your stars ! ' And although he disaccord , he allowed it . "
Based on the stage musical of the same name, Little Shop of Horrors stars Rick Moranis as Seymour Krelborn, a shy young man working at a florists shop in New York City who acquires a strange plant that begins to bring in more business for the shop.

However , when they try out the dark close in front of audience , it was universally pan . Oz said ,
" I remember seeing the head of the studio in front of me . Everyone was applauding after every number . They were absolutely loving it ! And then the last 10 minutes , when Rick and Ellen died — it became an refrigerator . I could just experience it . It was awed . At that time , you had to have a 55 percent recommendation [ on a " would you recommend to a champion " survey ] . That was the low you could have . We had 13 percent . It was an absolute disaster . I ask Warners if we could please do another preview and they agree , so we run to Los Angeles . And the precise same thing happened . "
At this point , Oz know they had to reshoot , which is when they completed the theatrical end , and that ’s when trial run audiences love it . And the theatrical termination does make more level sentiency . Seymour and Audrey are great character and their spark is romanticist and playfulness . It would be a bummer to see them killed off for a joke .
