A good aspect used in the movie was character portrayal. Each character in the movie brought a new, different piece to the story. This made the movie more effectively entertaining because, even if there are characters that aren't necessarily likeable or nice, they are still portrayed in a way that puts a smile on the viewer's face. One example of this is Audrey’s boyfriend, Orin. While Orin is a horrible guy who does terrible things not only to his girlfriend but his patients, he’s portrayed in a

In the musical “Little Shop of Horrors,” Davis Weaver plays the antagonist role of Orin Scrivello, the cringey, sadistic dentist and abusive boyfriend of Audrey. I was particularly impressed with Weaver’s versatility as an actor, being that he plays five different roles throughout the musical.

He states that in “El Monte, California on August 2, government officials raided a sweatshop filled with immigrant Thai woman laboring for as little as 59 cents per hour” (Jackson, 289).

first show I ever saw was Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Cinderella when I was a high school freshman. Seeing that show at the humble little community theatre made me realize something: that I really liked theatre. Not much occurred from this realization until about a year later. I had seen two more shows, put on by my high school’s drama department, Little Shop of Horrors and The Dining Room. Now it was the second semester of my sophomore year and the school hallways were plastered with flyers proclaiming
