Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Which actress played Audrey, in both the original musical cast and in the 1986 movie?

Answer: Ellen Greene

Greene was finally able to give her character a happy ending in the 1986 movie, in which she managed not to be killed by her namesake plant.

2. Which song from the 1986 movie was based on the song 'You Never Know' from the musical?

Answer: 'Some Fun Now'

They gave the song a faster beat and slightly different lyrics, but the message remained the same.

3. What does Mr. Mushnik do to Seymour in the musical that he does not do in the 1986 movie?

Answer: adopts him

In the catchy tune, 'Mushnik & Son', Mushnik asks Seymour to be his Junior, which makes it all the worse when Seymour allows the hungry Audrey II to eat his new dad in 'Suppertime'.

4. In the song 'Somewhere That's Green', which line from the musical is changed slightly for the movie?

Answer: 'Our kids watch that 'Howdy-Doody' as the sun sets in the west.'

The line is changed to 'Our kids play 'Howdy Doody'...' so they could show the parents watching their children playing. Rick Moranis gives a classic proud father headshake and smile.

5. How many more people get eaten in the musical than in the movie? (This does not count the thousands of people in the cities mentioned in 'Don't Feed The Plant'.)

Answer: 2

Only 2 people actually die in the 1986 movie. These are: Orin, the psycho dentist, and poor Mr. Mushnik who knew too much. In the musical, Audrey II also munches on Audrey and, finally, the vengeful Seymour.

6. What song does Orin sing in the musical that is cut in the 1986 movie?

Answer: 'Now (It's Just the Gas)'

Instead of singing, Steve Martin just talks and gasps while Seymour watches him die.

7. Which song featuring Audrey II is in the movie, but not the musical?

Answer: 'Mean Green Mother from Outer Space'

And she is BAD!

8. Which song from the musical did not appear in the movie remake?

Answer: 'Don't Feed The Plant'

As the plant is satisfactorily destroyed in the movie, there is no need to warn audiences not to feed it. For some reason, the song does appear on the movie soundtrack CD.

9. What costume item does Audrey wear in the movie, but not in the musical?

Answer: wedding dress

In the musical, Seymour does not propose to Audrey, so she has no need for a wedding dress.

10. In both the movie and the musical, what does Mr. Mushnik see all over the linolium, forcing him to realize Seymour may have had something to do with Orin's murder?

Answer: little red dots

Poor Mr. Mushnik, his curiosity seals his fate, he is destined to be plant food!
