Little Shop of Horrors Live! NBC's 2016 Live Musical!


i think NBC should do Little Shop of Horrors Live as their 2016 Live Musical. in the footsteps of The Sound Of Music Live, Peter Pan Live, and the upcoming The Wiz Live!

That would be great. The 2016 musical is Hairspray but I don't see why they couldn't stick to the early 60's for the 2017 musical. If it happened, I think NBC would go with the theatrical version with the less homicidal Seymour and a happy ending over the original.

It rubs the butter on it's skin, y'all.

Something tells me they wouldn't want to simply because of content. Even though it's mild to most, the idea of the dentist beating Audrey and the cursing in the show. From what I gathered they do family friendly shows. Sound of music, the wiz. Little Shop would be tricky to get approval, because they'd want to draw in an entire family, not just the parents, and the show is amazing but i dont know how well a man eating fly trap that wins in the end will do well with viewers hehe

God no! It's a classic and does not need another tired remake.
I propose a compromise: this year is the 30th anniversary. Re-release it in theatres for a weekend or whatever like they did with BACK TO THE FUTURE.
