​Notes: Fyvush Finkel served as the understudy for Mr. Mushnik in the original cast, while Brad Moraz served as the understudy for Seymour, Audrey II, and Orin/Everyone Else. Marsha Waterbury (under her maiden name Marsha Skaggs) would go on to play Audrey in a few regional productions of Little Shop, as well as an English-language production that toured Japan between 1986 and 1987. Sometimes circulated as a YouTube rip of the original VOB files watermarked from "The Little Shop Archive."

The action is followed well throughout, with minimal dropouts and the only obstruction being a head that pops up at the bottom in one or two scenes.

Jake Gyllenhaal (Seymour), Ellen Greene (Audrey), Joe Grifasi (Mushnik), Taran Killam (Orin), Eddie Cooper (Audrey II), Marva Hicks (Crystal), Ramona Keller (Ronnette), Tracy Nicole Chapman (Chiffon)
​Notes: Opening Night filmed from the very back of City Center, so there is some spotlight washout that's never too bad and a head that's shot well around.
Encores! Off-Center | July 2, 2015 (Matinee) | master: SunsetBlvd79 | VOB
Jake Gyllenhaal (Seymour), Ellen Greene (Audrey), Joe Grifasi (Mushnik), Taran Killam (Orin), Eddie Cooper (Audrey II), Marva Hicks (Crystal), Ramona Keller (Ronnette), Tracy Nicole Chapman (Chiffon)
​Notes: Beautiful HD capture of the Encores Summer Series. Ellen and Jake were perfection and this was the 2015 show that was not to be missed! The last 15 mins (customers coming in and song/scene finale don't feed the plants) are mostly blind shot, where a few times no action can be seen. Everything else is there and beautiful.

Pasadena Playhouse | October 13, 2019 | master: PacmanTattoo | mov
George Salazar (Seymour), MJ Rodriguez (Audrey), Kevin Chamberlin (Mushnik), Matthew Wilkas (Orin), Amber Riley (Audrey II), Cheyenne Isabel Wells (Crystal), Brittany Campbell (Ronnette), Tickwanya Jones (Chiffon)
Notes: Includes the full show and the curtain call. There is some drifting in Act One, but it isn’t as prevalent in Act Two. There are a lot of obstructions, but I was (mostly) able to film around them. The only part that was really blocked was Somewhere That’s Green. Somewhere That’s Green (Reprise) is the only majorly whitewashed part, but other than that it’s not too much of an issue. Overall, it’s a pretty decent capture of the show, considering it’s my first video master.
Sometimes mislabelled as October 14, but they're the same show

Notes: Very good phone boot of this incredible show. All action captured, although some of the darker scenes are a little hard to make out, but that's less than 8% of the show, I'd say. Honestly, you would not know anyone here was an understudy. They were all exceptional. The most reactive audience I've ever seen in NYC. I swear at least half of the audience was in a production of the show at some point in their lives with how much they were dancing and lip-syncing along. So much applause and laughter. Bonus that it's Skylar Astin, cuz C'mon, he's adorable in everything.
Off-Broadway Revival | July 16, 2022 (Matinee) | master: bikinibottomday | mp4

Notes: Nice 4K capture of Rob McClure as Seymour. This was filmed very close to the stage at an angle, so the far left of the stage is mildly obstructed and the video is overall not as well shot as usual. Some semi-significant moments of wandering and occasional unfocusing. Includes curtain call, audio is fed from external source.
