This is a bittersweet day on Backstage Babble. I am proud to present my interview, recorded in January 2025, with legendary Broadway dancer and choreographer Edie Cowan. Ms. Cowan passed away on May 22, 2025 at the age of 88. It is a very sad loss for theater lovers everywhere, and I hope this interview will give you a sense of her humor, talent, and unique spark. Tune in to hear some of the stories of her wonderful career, including how the original production of OKLAHOMA inspired her love of theater, why Carol Haney selected her for FUNNY GIRL, the changes made to “Cornet Man” and “Rat-a-Tat-Tat,” replacing George Sanders with Clive Revill in SHERRY, working with a cast of veterans on the tour of FOLLIES, finding her take on the role of Lily St. Regis in ANNIE, the advice she got from Dorothy Loudon, how the whole original company of ANNIE ended up getting fired, how her role in Equity led to being involved in the MISS SAIGON conflict, how she met Howard Ashman at Indiana University, casting the Urchins in LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS, choreographing “Mushnik and Son,” why the show belongs off-Broadway, how she ended up working for the State Department, and so much more. You won't want to miss this interview with a true theater veteran.

Composer Alan Menken is the winner of more Academy Awards in competitive categories than any other living person. He's best known for his scores for the animated Disney films including The Little Mermaid, Pocahontas, Aladdin and Beauty and the Beast. His first big hit was the musical Little Shop Of Horrors - one of several he created with lyricist Howard Ashman, his longtime writing partner. Other stage musicals include Sister Act, The Hunchback Of Notre Dame, and Hercules, which recently opened in London's West End. Alan Menken also wrote the scores for Disney films Mirror Mirror, Enchanted and Tangled. As well as eight Academy Awards, he has also won eleven Grammys, seven Golden Globes, two Emmys and a Tony Award.Alan talks to John Wilson about his childhood in New York and the expectations of his parents that he would follow family tradition and become a dentist like his father. A musical talent from a young age, he recalls how seeing Walt Disney's Fantasia was the start of thinking about the marriage of music with story and images. Despite initial ambitions to be a singer-songwriter, enrolling in a workshop in New York for musical theatre composers, lyricists, and librettists led by composer Lehmann Engel taught him how to write for the stage. It is also through Engel that he met lyricist and director Howard Ashman with whom he went on to write many of the hit scores credited as the driving force behind the Disney Renaissance of the 1980s and 1990s. Tragically, Howard Ashman was diagnosed with HIV in 1988 and died at the age of 40 in 1991.Producer: Edwina Pitman

We revisit the shows creators Scott and Aaron and are joined by cast memeber Allison as we talk about the upcoming Concert of Romero & JulietZombies! Shakespeare! 1980s inspired music! All of these elements are the foundation for the new rock musical, ROMERO & JULIET.Romero, a human, falls for Juliet, a zombie, during a music festival called Deadstock on Friday the 13 th in September 1985. Romance, comedy, horror, and tragedy ensue. The show is set in Verona, PA- not far from where George Romero's class film “Night of the Living Dead” was filmed, and not far from where the concert will be presented.​ROMERO & JULIET features an original score inspired by eighties pop music icons Madonna, Bon Jovi, George Michael, Boy George, Jim Steinman and others. It is described as being in the same vein as LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS.Romero and Juliet” will premiere on May 17, 2025 at Saint Vincent College with production by Split Stage Productions of Greensburg. There is a matinee at 2 p.m. and an evening performance at 7.

Tonight on the show, we're diving into a trio of cult-favorite musicals that blur the lines between horror, comedy, camp, and tragedy: The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975, starring Tim Curry), Little Shop of Horrors (1986, starring Rick Moranis), and the 2001 filmed stage production of Jekyll and Hyde: The Musical, featuring David Hasselhoff in a career-defining dual performance.At first glance, these might seem like wildly different productions—ranging from glam-rock alien chaos to doo-wop-infused plant horror, to a dark, gothic tale of split identity—but together they tell a broader story about how musical theater has embraced monstrosity as metaphor. Each of these works asks: What happens when the line between man and monster blurs? What desires are we really afraid of? And can we sing our way through the madness?Tim Curry's Frank-N-Furter is a force of nature—part scientist, part seducer, part destroyer. Rocky Horror was a revolution in form and content, upending gender norms, mocking genre tropes, and creating an interactive cult ritual that has endured for nearly 50 years. It's a cultural milestone not just because of what it is, but because of what it unleashed—a safe space for the weird, the queer, and the outsider.Rick Moranis' Seymour in Little Shop of Horrors gives us a very different kind of mad scientist: a nebbish pushover corrupted by power, ambition, and a bloodthirsty plant. The film (based on the Howard Ashman and Alan Menken stage musical) blends 1960s Motown stylings with Faustian tragedy, capturing the dark side of the American dream—and warning us what happens when we feed the things that promise us love and success.And then there's Jekyll and Hyde, the most classical of the three, but perhaps the most psychologically intense. Hasselhoff's performance—often memed, but undeniably committed—gives us a musical take on Robert Louis Stevenson's timeless story of duality. It's a sweeping, gothic powerhouse of repression, temptation, and the dangers of scientific hubris—a thematic cousin to both Frank-N-Furter and Seymour in ambition and eventual ruin.Reviewing these three together allows us to trace how musicals have uniquely adapted horror and moral ambiguity to the stage and screen. From parody to tragedy to grand melodrama, these stories use music to heighten emotion, build absurdity, and expose the deep fears and fantasies lurking behind every monstrous transformation.So grab your fishnets, your gardening shears, or your top hat and cane—we're about to explore the darker, stranger side of musical theater, where the monsters are often the ones singing the loudest.Disclaimer: The following may contain offensive language, adult humor, and/or content that some viewers may find offensive – The views and opinions expressed by any one speaker does not explicitly or necessarily reflect or represent those of Mark Radulich or W2M Network.Mark Radulich and his wacky podcast on all the things:https://linktr.ee/markkind76alsohttps://www.teepublic.com/user/radulich-in-broadcasting-networkFB Messenger: Mark Radulich LCSWTiktok: @markradulichtwitter: @MarkRadulichInstagram: markkind76RIBN Album Playlist: https://suno.com/playlist/91d704c9-d1ea-45a0-9ffe-5069497bad59 

This episode was originally released in May 2022. In this Cinema Shock Rewind episode, we're revisiting our episode on Frank Oz's LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS. Oz got his start as Jim Henson's closest collaborator, working with Jim during the Muppets' early years, and serving as a key piece of the Muppets' creative framework through the years of The Muppet Show and the subsequent feature films. In fact, Oz made his solo directorial debut on THE MUPPETS TAKE MANHANTTAN, which led to him being courted for LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS not long after. In this episode, we'll tell you the full story of how LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS was made, now with the added context of Oz's participation in the world of The Muppets. Want to support the show?

In unserer letzten Episode aus der Skid Row erfahrt ihr nicht nur, ob es Audrey II gelingt, die Weltherrschaft zu übernehmen, sondern auch, welchen Filmtitel Fakten-Frank für die nächste reguläre Folge auswürfelt…

Auf geht es in die Szenenanalyse…die Handlung in der Skid Row entfaltet sich und die Kultfilm-Kumpel kommentieren.

Zeit für ein Interview mit dem Visual Effects-Veteranen Peter Field. Peter sammelte seine ersten Erfahrungen bei Optical Film Effects Ltd in den Pinewood Studios in England, bevor er sich einen hervorragenden Ruf als gefragter Haupt- und Zweitkameramann in der internationalen Film- und Fernsehbranche erarbeitete. Als Assistent seines Vaters, des Oscarpreisträgers Roy Field, arbeitete Peter an „Little Shop of Horrors“ mit und erinnert sich für uns an die 80er-Jahre zurück.

In dieser Folge widmen wir uns den herausragenden Akteuren vor der Kamera und feiern ihr schauspielerisches Talent. Von Rick Moranis, der den schüchternen Floristen mit viel Herz verkörpert, über Steve Martin, der als sadistischer Zahnarzt für schockierende Komik sorgt, bis hin zu Ellen Greene, die mit ihrer bewegenden Darstellung der verletzlichen Audrey das Publikum in ihren Bann zieht – wir erforschen, wie die beeindruckenden Leistungen und die besondere Chemie des Ensembles diesen Kultklassiker so lebendig gemacht haben.

Cʹest un film avec des plantes, des morts, des œillets, une boutique de fleuriste et Audrey II, ou Audrey Junior, une plante carnivore particulièrement retorse et vorace. Cʹest La Petite Boutique des horreurs (The Little Shop of Horrors), une comédie horrifique et satirique écrite, produite et réalisée par Roger Corman sortie en 1960. Lʹhistoire de Seymour, jeune homme effacé, amoureux dʹAudrey sa collègue de travail, qui bosse dans la boutique dʹun minable fleuriste Gravis Mushnik. Seymour, par greffons, et peut-être par la magie des pouces verts, parvient à bouturer une plante extraordinaire qui devient vite lʹattraction de la boutique. Le problème cʹest quʹAudrey II est une plante carnivore qui a besoin, non pas dʹair pur et dʹeau fraiche, mais de sang et de chair humaine pour survivre. A Seymour de lui fournir sa pitance avec toutes les conséquences désastreuses que lʹon peut imaginer. Roger Corman, pape des films de série B, réalisateur prolifique de 54 films en tous genres confondus et producteur américain encore plus prolifique avec 400 films, signe ce bijou dʹhumour noir en seulement deux jours et une nuit. La petite boutique des horreurs devient ensuite une comédie musicale off-Broadway en 1982, puis un autre film est adapté de la comédie musicale par Frank Oz en 1986 avec Rick Moranis dans le rôle-titre. Cʹest cette version qui est présent la plus connue. Raison de plus pour revenir aux basiques et entrer ensemble dans La Petite Boutique des horreurs avec son créateur, Roger Corman et toute son équipe.

Send us a textA 1200-pound puppet in two massive crates. A first-time actor at age 54. A female voice for the traditionally male Audrey II. This is not your average Little Shop of Horrors—and that's precisely what makes it special.The creative team behind 7th Street Community Theater's upcoming production sits down to reveal how they're transforming this beloved cult musical for their intimate stage. Director Juan Luis Torres and his cast—including Derek Ashley-Macumber (Seymour/Costume Designer), Mark Agers (Mushnik), and Adam Carl-Payton (Orin)—share their personal connections to a show that has captivated theater lovers for generations.What emerges is a fascinating look at the balance between honoring tradition and introducing fresh perspectives. While audiences will get the professional-quality puppets they expect (arriving in two enormous crates weighing 400 and 800 pounds), they'll also experience innovations like expanded roles for the urchins and thoughtful color theory in the costumes, with greens representing envy and reds symbolizing sin as the plant's influence grows.The conversation delves into practical challenges unique to community theater: How do you fit a six-foot man-eating plant and a dentist's chair on a tiny stage? How do eight performers master complex harmonies when every voice matters? And how does a theater community rally together to make the impossible possible?Most touching is Mark's story of auditioning for his very first show at 54, sitting with professional performers at the first table read, and thinking, "These folks have legit skills... this is not just a little fun thing." His journey represents the heart of community theater—a place where passion and dedication matter more than experience.From inside jokes about troublesome vocal lines to the excitement of "Mother coming home" (their affectionate term for the plant puppet's arrival), the enthusiasm is contagious. As one cast member puts it: "It's a show you're going to want to see twice."Get your tickets now for what promises to be an unforgettable, intimate encounter with a musical that reminds us why we love theater.

Audrey II was more than just a mean green mother from outer space. Back in 1984, and voiced by Levi Stubbs, he was the main attraction of the movie musical, Little Shop of Horrors. Based on an off-Broadway show, which itself was based on a 1960 horror comedy of the same name, the Frank Oz directed flick achieved cult classic status on VHS and Beta. But now, decades later, are we still singing its praises? Are abusive boyfriends, exploitive bosses, and blood-thirsty plants the stuff of sing-a-longs? Or is this Rick Moranis' finest hour? The Old Roommates head down Skid Row and give it all a revisit through their middle-aged lens. Listen to this.Old Roommates can be reached via email at oldroommatespod@gmail.com.

This week, Tommy is joined by the very talented actor Milo Manheim, who became a household name for his staring role as Zed in Disney’s hit movie musical franchise ZOMBIES, which just wrapped production on its 4th installment. He is currently starring as Wally in the young adult drama series SCHOOL SPIRITS which just released its second season. It has become a wildly beloved show that landed in the Top 10 on Netflix for multiple weeks.

It’s safe to say that everything Milo touches turns to gold. Today, Milo opens up about what playing the iconic role of Seymour in Little Shop of Horrors has meant to him, why he was a bit intimated by co-star Liz Gillies before meeting her, the beautiful moment that he knew he could put all of his trust in her, the quirky thing they do during the show that no one knows about (until now), if stage fright ever creeps in before a performance, what living in NYC has taught him about himself, why he opening about his ADHD and anxiety for the first time, his message for people struggling with their own anxiety, his dream storyline in Season 3 of School Spirits, his love for reading comments and fan theories on Reddit, why the Zombies franchise will forever mean so much to him, how many more Zombies movies he wants to do, what his transition from working as an actor on the Disney Channel to stepping into adulthood was like, getting killed in a Sabrina Carpenter music video and so much more.

Im zweiten Teil unseres "Little Shop of Horrors"-Podcasts widmen wir uns den kreativen Köpfen hinter der Kamera und natürlich den vielseitigen Melodien, die das Herzstück dieses Kultklassikers bilden.Für alle "Mean Green Mothers from Outer Space"...

Nebbish Seymour Krelborn finds an extraterrestrial plant that offers him everything he wants—fame, money, the love of his coworker Audrey—in return for fresh human blood. What started as a 1960 Roger Corman schlockfest is turned into a campy musical from the guys who brought us… The Little Mermaid? Wait, really? Starring Rick Moranis, Ellen Greene, Vincent Gardenia, Steve Martin, and Bill Murray. Written by Howard Ashman. Music by Alan Menkin. Directed by Frank Oz

We're kicking off Alright Scary with Frank Oz's under-sung movie musical “Little Shop of Horrors”! While not the spookiest pick on the list this month, it's certainly got the best balance of bonkers and beautiful. Plus all those homoerotic overtones in the dentist's office, Levi Stubbs' vocals, the perfection of Ellen Greene, and a Greek chorus by way of Crystal, Chiffon and Ronette. Become a Matreon at the Sister Mary level to get full access to Drag Race UK this season, plus Global All Stars, movie reviews and past seasons of US Drag Race, UK, Canada, Down Under, Philippines and more.Join us at our OnlyMary's level for EVEN MORE movie reviews, brackets, and deep dives into our personal lives!Patreon: www.patreon.com/alrightmaryEmail: alrightmarypodcast@gmail.comInstagram: @alrightmarypodJohnny: @johnnyalso (Instagram)Colin: @colindrucker_ (Instagram)Web: www.alrightmary.com
