The way the guy playing Seymour acts through his singing is something else. There's a delicate, subtle touch to it that stands out. Also in love with the look of respect and admiration he gives when other cast members are singing. Guy playing Audrey has just the best facial expressions and body language. I love the energy of the woman in the leather jacket, she seems very bright and bubbly. She's adorable.
He talks about Howard like he is still alive- bc he is. He lives on in his music. And alan gets to deliver him that way. Ugh watching it i was speechless
I love that Alan Menken sang "Somewhere That's Green". It was so heartfelt and the whole time you could tell he was thinking of Howard Ashman and it think that's so beautiful
YES! That show is way too underrated! Christian borle needs to star as Shakespeare in a film version! I would direct for free. Not that my skills would be worth anything, at least I’d have a front row seat.
I love Tiny Desk and the cast but I really want to point out the mentions of Howard Ashman. He was amazing and his ideas on musical theatre were so important (see any Sideways video on musicals for more). He died tragically and so I'm so glad Menken really cherishes his memory and keeps it alive.
And they dropped this so close to his birthday! Ashman was just getting better & better. His magnum opus was also his last project, and I'm just thinking of how many more masterpieces he could've given us... Rest in peace, lovely Howard. We owe you a lot.
Feed Me was so fun and fascinating to watch because you never get to see the Audrey II actor actually physically act the role. Aaron did such a wonderful job embodying Audrey II through his physicality.
Song Timestamps: 0:59 Skid Row (Downtown) 5:45 Feed Me (Git It!) 9:49 Somewhere That’s Green 14:06 Dentist! 17:21 Suddenly Seymour This is for rewatching, please listen to Alan Menken’s sweet introductions/stories for each song if you haven’t! :)
everyone (including the band) was amazing but in particular: the singers for Audrey II and the trio of crystal, ronnette, chiffon knocked it OUTTTTT, absolute SLAYAGEE also christian borle always slays
I'm bawling tears of pure joy right now. I'll be forty in exactly two weeks and just realized that The Little Mermaid and Little Shop were two of my best friends during an abusive and lonely childhood. Thank you could never express my gratitude for this art.
Oh gosh, this, 💜💜💜💜 … and I’ll never forget the feeling the moment I noticed how Part Of Your World and Somewhere That’s Green sound so similar at the end!?😃🥹🥰… and thank you for sharing something so emotionally open and relatable x✨💛
When I was a kid, I loved the song Skid Row (Downtown) because it was a great song. Now that I've spent a lifetime in poverty, it's a tearjerker. What a great performance. Wish I could see this show in person.
I was also surprised to know that it’s the part that makes me cry the most now (it used to be Suddenly Seymour), especially the parts on getting out of here-
How the Black singers have carried this musical since its inception, WHOOOO! Kinda wish they had used the cast from the remake at Pasadena Playhouse, but I'm grateful for this revival :)
I had the honor of seeing the Pasadena Playhouse cast and also hoped they'd fix it up and bring it to Broadway. These guys are great, but it doesn't feel like they're pushing the show forward
@@isharaj-silverman2411 same here, it was incredible and inclusive and felt like it aged with the times! And I personally think MJ Rodriguez and George Salazar are stronger singers than the folks who are playing Audrey and Seymour on this one
It’s by far one of the best film adaptations of a musical ever. The best Crystal, Chiffon, and Ronette you could ever ask for, Levi Stubbs(!) even Rick Moranis with no musical experience really embodies Seymour as well as anyone ever could. And so many of the choices they made were just great, like the manic tempo of the title song, it’s so perfect that no other production has even attempted it that way, they always do it much slower, seemingly knowing they can’t top that version so a totally different approach is the best bet. Lol thats kind of a long-winded way of saying I agree with you, but yes! It’s amazing. I think Ashman and Menken’s hands-on involvement probably has a lot to do with that
This show is so funny omg. I went in blind not knowing the story at all and I was laughing hysterically through the finale and then for at least three blocks after.
Aaron as Audrey 2 gets ALLLLL of my YAAASSSSS!!!!! Baby the way he felt that "crave" down in his soul! And can we PLEASE appreciate these BOMB Black women who are also absolutely killing it!!! Definitely giving me everything I need!
Alan Menken's performance of somewhere that's green is unbelievably beautiful but the absolute class of Tammy Blanchard being the one to defer her big number on such a massive platform.
I fell in love instantly with Aaron Armell Harrington. His face and his voice carried the whole song and has TONS of personality, and just only by standing on the same place!
Genuinely SHOCKED that this is Aaron's first off/Broadway show! He's so talented I looked him up, certain I was just uninformed and he must be some massive Tony winning star. Well, soon to be I'm sure, with a voice and chops like that!
This is one of the few musicals where every single song is extremely good. Lovely to see Alan Menken he has made so many gems. Thank you Tiny Desk you made my day.
I've come back to this clip about 10 times since I first saw it on the 21st. Something about the vulnerability of Alan Menken's grief over Howard's death - still present with him after 30 years, speaks to me. I lost my dear friend and Broadway buddy over COVID and have leaned out of Broadway since then. It's like Alan is inviting me back -- yes there is grief and pain here, but look at all the beauty and magic too. And dear god, would my friend have loved Christian Borle's interpretation of Dentist! To you, Cat and to you, Howard. Sing us sweet melodies until we meet again.
i turned this on as background music while at work and then alan menken started talking about howard ashman and singing "somewhere that's green" and now i'm crying in the office
My 15 year old son is going to absolutely love this. This is one of his favorites. For Christmas he wanted the soundtrack. We also got him the movie. He just made a puppet of Audrey II. Thanks for this unusual and super special Tiny desk.
Did anyone else get chills listening to this? Aaron reminded me so much of Levi Stubbs ((and I totally was going "Come on, boy!" "Lighten up!" "Tell it to the *marines* !" at that one part. IYKYK.)) and it was such a blast from the past! Thanks, y'all!
The Dentist, absolutely 100% pure gold, it's the eyes. Would give good money to find out what he said to the three. One of the greatest performances on You Tube.
I literally grew up on this musical and watched it constantly throughout the years.. i love some of the new musical/ character choices.. my hardest acceptance is anything other than Ellen Green's expression of Audrey. I'm enjoying what I'm seeing though
I got to see this in January and omg it was so fun! Totally worth it! I also grew up watching the movie, My cousin and I use to fight over who got to sing what parts haha
I have the same struggle. Ellen Greene singing Suddenly Seymour on Johnny Carson is still one of my fav performances of all time. She is Audrey. Just perfection.
Ellen Green is such a legend, ranks up there with Liza Minnelli in Cabaret for me as one of the best musical performances ever. I’m glad this Audrey is clearly making very different character choices but her voice - while terrific - isn’t quite up to Green’s impossibly high standard. With this part, it’s not fair, but you can’t help but compare everyone to her. Especially at a Broadway level.
i had the absolute privilege of seeing christian live in this role and that man is so phenomenal i really don’t have words for how talented he is or how incredible his stage presence and energy is
This is one of my all-time favorite musical scores. My siblings and I grew up watching the movie with Rick Moranis. When I was 20, I went to Manhattan and it helped me to visualize the story so much more. I can only hope that everyone watching this made it to somewhere that's green.
I have been waiting for a chance to see Christian Borle as Orin!! THank you!!!! A friend of mine just came back from seeing this show. THANK YOU! We need more!
Would LOVE to see a Wicked Tiny Desk. Even one with the film cast would be great, Cynthia Erivo has out-of-this-world talent, I’d love to see her do literally anything on Tiny Desk
How Alan Menken keeps talking about Howard Ashman with such emotion to make sure credit goes to where credit is due 😭 Howard will never see how long his music has endured and how it'll be with people forever.
LOVE THIS REVIVAL! I saw it a few weeks ago and met Christina Rae after the show. She was so sweet and sincere (and can sing boots the house down). My future husband, Conrad was also incredible. Audrey II is officially my favorite villains I JUST LOVE LITTLE SHOP!
Saw this show in November last year with almost this entire cast, except Jeremy Jordan was playing Seymour and they all absolutely murdered! Glad other get to enjoy a small part of it here in UA-cam
I will always have a soft spot for the way the woman who portrayed Audrey in the movie sang suddenly Seymour, chills everytime so I am biased. That said, these guys all gave me chills in their own way, amazingly well done.
'The Dentist'. The 4 of them, what a quartet, sung to absolute perfection. The timing, the sound, absolutely everything, ditto the band. Pity the poor pussycat though.
He really killed it, just as good as the legendary Levi Stubbs but with his own spin. I also just love getting to see Aaron and Conrad do Feed Me face-to-face, it’s so cute and fun the way they interact during it, Aaron shimmying and slinking around, Conrad scandalized and blushing, they really have so much chemistry as Two-ey and Seymour
I AM LEGITIMATELY CRYING. LIKE BALLING MY EYES OUT. this is my all time favorite musical ever & never would've thought there would be a tiny desk of this. THANK YOU THIS IS AMAZING. pleaseeee please please do more musicals 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
the VOICES on the actresses playing Ronette, Crystal and Chiffon!! Those opening notes were a revelation!!! and their energy shines bright!
The look of pure amazement from Conrad at 1:08 is so relatable. He is all of us. What a voice!
They ate !!!
Goosebumps! Omg...they're remarkable
I loved their delivery of “Who wants their teeth done by the Marquis de Sade?”
I've done the show as Chiffon. They have the hardest parts, because they're in almost every number.
Can we get a little bit of love for Aaron Arnell Harrington - love the character he give to Audrey II, plus his voice is magnificent!
It sucks that in the stage production you wouldn't see his facial expressions!
I really thought his performance was incredible!
He sounds so much like Levi Stubbs, (RIP). It gave me chills.
Not only a great voice, but he’s also so beautiful. 😍♥️
He is AMAZING!
Christian Borle coming in with the most beautifully unhinged energy
His performance in the show through every SINGLE character defines unhinged 😍😭
Always
He’s the best!
this here man could be portraying a trash can and would still make me feel some type of way, the TALENT
His performance in this show was INCREDIBLE
Christian during Dentist! is pure chaos, but Tammy behind him giggling the whole time just made it so much better. 😂
"Here he is, girls, the leader of the plaque." had me cracking up. You can't help but be entertained by the show.
I actually appreciate that it isn't chaotic. They're not just silly voices; he's making references.
The way he sung "somewhere that's green" was so touching
Really was. The gifts those two men gave us.... The modern fathers of millennial musicals. Imagine he misses him everyday.
i'm not crying you're crying :,)
The most beautiful song ever written about white flight.
I choked up.
Word I can’t wait to go see it
The way the guy playing Seymour acts through his singing is something else. There's a delicate, subtle touch to it that stands out. Also in love with the look of respect and admiration he gives when other cast members are singing. Guy playing Audrey has just the best facial expressions and body language. I love the energy of the woman in the leather jacket, she seems very bright and bubbly. She's adorable.
Christian is such an amazing performer. He was fully in character even just standing with a microphone
I have only recently entered my Christian Borle phase but the way he inhabits whatever character he is playing is so good
@@clairecohen3178 to me, he's not a phase, he has become my life.
CB is just great in whatever he does
I love how everyone’s just beaming in the background watching each other’s songs. It’s so heartwarming. I love these people.
Every single person looks like they feel lucky to be in that company. Their respect for each other is so palpable and soul warming.
There isn’t enough Conrad Ricamora appreciation in the comments, so I’m just here to say that he did a remarkable and wonderful job!
Conrad Ricamoranis
Oliver!!!!
Agreed! He's fantastic here. I only knew him from HTGAWM. I'm gonna start following him now.
He really does embody Seymour I think. It's great.
he’s amazing in Fire Island too!!!
Fred Armisen looks so young and fit. Never knew he could sing.
lol
Took me a minute....🤣
OK THANK YOU I'm so glad someone else sees it
Thought the same 🤣🤣
I literally had to sit up because I saw it IMMEDIATELY
I know it’s 2022 and all, but I am still delighted when I see a female drummer. Y’all killed it. What a nice treat this Friday morning.
Well, check out Beth Goodfellow with John Turner playing Mary-Ann. She is something else!
so true!!
I just can’t stop rewatching that video!!! She was absolutely outstanding. Josh’s travel videos have been such a delight!
Check out The Altons. Trust me.
@@blessedANDunimpressed oh no hahaha
Seeing Alan perform somewhere thats green- wow. Powerful doesnt even explain.
Yesss! He did an amazing job!!! 👏👏👏
He talks about Howard like he is still alive- bc he is. He lives on in his music. And alan gets to deliver him that way. Ugh watching it i was speechless
@@liv-bv3pl Right! I always get teary when he talks about Howard.
Right?!?! I mean, this does not happen every day. So touching! ❤️
@@MarthaGarvey Yeah, I was watching in a very dusty room.
I love that Alan Menken sang "Somewhere That's Green". It was so heartfelt and the whole time you could tell he was thinking of Howard Ashman and it think that's so beautiful
That song get's me crying, every time I hear it
Christian borle is hilarious, he does comedy roles so well (thinking about something rotten)
Agreed - his energy is just infectious, and he does melodramatic so well!
I loved him in that show but he’s even better in this.
YES! That show is way too underrated! Christian borle needs to star as Shakespeare in a film version! I would direct for free. Not that my skills would be worth anything, at least I’d have a front row seat.
Who ISNT thinking about something rotten 👀

And they dropped this so close to his birthday!
Ashman was just getting better & better. His magnum opus was also his last project, and I'm just thinking of how many more masterpieces he could've given us...
Rest in peace, lovely Howard. We owe you a lot.
There's a documentary about him o Disney+, I would recommend it for anyone who hasn't seen it.
@@taliaherron2356 really?! i'll watch now! good timing thank you edit: just finished it, highly reccomend, touches on what i was on about!!
I watched a really great documentary called "Harold" about his life and career on Disney plus and l highly recommend it if you can find it somewhere.
HA. I should scrolled through your replies. I just saw someone else already mentioned that doc! Whoops!
Feed Me was so fun and fascinating to watch because you never get to see the Audrey II actor actually physically act the role. Aaron did such a wonderful job embodying Audrey II through his physicality.
I love everyone just grinning and giggling during Dentist.

I love you
Thank you for your service
@@GabbyAbby the chapters are in the description. You can click on each song
everyone (including the band) was amazing but in particular: the singers for Audrey II and the trio of crystal, ronnette, chiffon knocked it OUTTTTT, absolute SLAYAGEE
also christian borle always slays
Seems to be a trend lol
There’s absolutely nothing better than watching artists admire each other like this
So special to have Alan Menken tell the story behind making the songs.
I'm bawling tears of pure joy right now. I'll be forty in exactly two weeks and just realized that The Little Mermaid and Little Shop were two of my best friends during an abusive and lonely childhood. Thank you could never express my gratitude for this art.
Hope life is good for you now ❤️❤️
girl i’m your age… yes Little Shop, wayne’s world, little mermaid, i get it

Im right there with u bubbah
I was just thinking the same thing. I'm literally wiping tears away as I write this. If we ever meet at Schmendrick's, the drink's on me.
sending you love. you’ve got this
Hits different when you understand it. All of the feels...
I was also surprised to know that it’s the part that makes me cry the most now (it used to be Suddenly Seymour), especially the parts on getting out of here-
This musical has been driven by the 3 Urchins for years. Black women are amazing and These young women here are incredible vocalists
How the Black singers have carried this musical since its inception, WHOOOO! Kinda wish they had used the cast from the remake at Pasadena Playhouse, but I'm grateful for this revival :)
I had the honor of seeing the Pasadena Playhouse cast and also hoped they'd fix it up and bring it to Broadway. These guys are great, but it doesn't feel like they're pushing the show forward
@@isharaj-silverman2411 same here, it was incredible and inclusive and felt like it aged with the times! And I personally think MJ Rodriguez and George Salazar are stronger singers than the folks who are playing Audrey and Seymour on this one
Yep, the Pasadena version was great.
I think it's intentional. There's an irony that written into it. The 3 main characters are suppose to be terrible
Please preach. Basically the entire harmonic base/comedic element comes from black actors and actresses as well as vocalists.
I know so many people hate when musicals are made into movies, but I LOVED this one growing up. It definitely made me want to see the actual show
They cast it really well.
It’s by far one of the best film adaptations of a musical ever. The best Crystal, Chiffon, and Ronette you could ever ask for, Levi Stubbs(!) even Rick Moranis with no musical experience really embodies Seymour as well as anyone ever could.

the complete glee of everyone in the back as soon as christian borle gets onto the mic
Aaron as Audrey 2 gets ALLLLL of my YAAASSSSS!!!!! Baby the way he felt that "crave" down in his soul! And can we PLEASE appreciate these BOMB Black women who are also absolutely killing it!!! Definitely giving me everything I need!
Audrey II killing it! And Seymour just embodies the character beautifully. The street urchins got the power baby
This is wonderful. Never thought I would need a Tiny Desk performance of Little Shop of Horrors but apparently, I did need it in my life.
Alan Menken's performance of somewhere that's green is unbelievably beautiful but the absolute class of Tammy Blanchard being the one to defer her big number on such a massive platform.
It was incredibly classy to give up her solo-but I'd argue that Suddenly Seymour is Audrey's big number 🥰
My bet is it was maybe a decision made due to her being sick. She seemed really sick. Had a tissue in her hand, really stuffy, red nose.
The fondness he talks about Howard Ashman warms my heart. RIP
This is a eulogy for Howard as it is a celebration of the new cast such a haunting moment I hope we get to keep this forever
I fell in love instantly with Aaron Armell Harrington. His face and his voice carried the whole song and has TONS of personality, and just only by standing on the same place!
I really never wanted this to end. We NEED more musical casts.
Genuinely SHOCKED that this is Aaron's first off/Broadway show! He's so talented I looked him up, certain I was just uninformed and he must be some massive Tony winning star. Well, soon to be I'm sure, with a voice and chops like that!
He IS AMAZING I just did the same not understanding how he is not EVERYWHERE🎉
he looks pretty young
@@marspowr he's 44! He's just got such a youthful vibe to him
@@meganross5041He's definitely not 44! He's still in his 20's!

I wasn't expecting Alan Menken himself to sing Somewhere That's Green, beautifully done!
The way the cast looks on as each other performs is amazing. They absolutely adore each other and the brilliance of Alan Menken.
i turned this on as background music while at work and then alan menken started talking about howard ashman and singing "somewhere that's green" and now i'm crying in the office
All Hail Menken and Ashman…for giving us defining musical storytelling of generations.
the actor singing for Audrey II was amazing!
Conrad Ricamora is such an underrated talent!
He is!!
Did you see him in Fire Island?
@@Megan80 He's in that? Well it just moved further up my to-watch list, thanks for letting me know!
Alan Menken singing “Somewhere Thats Green”, does it get any better than that? Wow… 😪😪😪
My 15 year old son is going to absolutely love this. This is one of his favorites. For Christmas he wanted the soundtrack. We also got him the movie. He just made a puppet of Audrey II. Thanks for this unusual and super special Tiny desk.
He's got great taste!
That's adorable and wonderful.
so cute
hearing Menken sing Somewhere that's Green was really really special!!! wow
This is my favorite tiny desk concert of all time. Conrad is my fave Seymour :’)
Yep, dude is killin it with his Seymour.
I love Conrad so much, but Jonathan Groff will forever be my favorite Seymour
Christian Borle is unbelievable! The way he sang, "bash in it's head" was elite. You saw the psychotic side of Orin Scrivello DDS.
Did anyone else get chills listening to this?
Aaron reminded me so much of Levi Stubbs ((and I totally was going "Come on, boy!" "Lighten up!" "Tell it to the *marines* !" at that one part. IYKYK.)) and it was such a blast from the past!
Thanks, y'all!
"Tell it to the Marines.", is one of my favorite lines!
The Dentist, absolutely 100% pure gold, it's the eyes. Would give good money to find out what he said to the three. One of the greatest performances on You Tube.
The love Alan has for this show is so pure
Howard Ashman (Z"L) was the reason I can remember that the sun sets in the west.
to have alan menken perform like that, i am shaking
Alan Menken talking so lovingly about Howard Ashman really gets me 🥺
You can still see just how impacted Alan is from the loss of Howard - such an amazing partnership, they worked so well together.
Can I just point out the way Christian smiles the sweetest smile in the back during Suddenly Seymour
he tears up even, the way he looks at Tammy is just something else completely
@@firinn2373yes you're right! 19:17 is sooo sweet I can't
I literally grew up on this musical and watched it constantly throughout the years.. i love some of the new musical/ character choices.. my hardest acceptance is anything other than Ellen Green's expression of Audrey. I'm enjoying what I'm seeing though

First world problems. 😉

This cast is phenomenal! The blend/harmonies with "Crystal, Ronnette & Chiffon" was truly amazing!! Great job ladies!!!
Anyone else start bawling the moment Alan Menken began singing? ❤️😢
the sheer charisma this cast has is INSANE it makes me smile so much
The Menken performance! Unexpected and wonderful!
The cast is literately in awe of each other, while they are performing. So cute!! Tammy was so wrapped in Aaron's delivery beginning at 6:35
CRYSTAL, CHIFFON AND RHONETTE ARE ABSOLUTELY MAJESTIC.
My favorite musical and such and underrated Tiny Desk.
Ah Christian Borle, the man of fun voices that vibe perfectly with the given character
The thing about “somewhere that’s green” is that she doesn’t even want much. This song leaves me feeling incredibly emotional hearing Menken sing it.
I woke up today without knowing it was going to be a great day because of this. And this version of "Feed me?", it's giving me life for days
Man. I lost a friend recently who loved these songs and we would sing them together. Miss him. Thanks NPR
Sorry for your loss sending love 💕
i had the absolute privilege of seeing christian live in this role and that man is so phenomenal i really don’t have words for how talented he is or how incredible his stage presence and energy is
This is one of my all-time favorite musical scores. My siblings and I grew up watching the movie with Rick Moranis. When I was 20, I went to Manhattan and it helped me to visualize the story so much more. I can only hope that everyone watching this made it to somewhere that's green.
I have been waiting for a chance to see Christian Borle as Orin!! THank you!!!! A friend of mine just came back from seeing this show. THANK YOU! We need more!
conrad ricamora is the perfect seymour, i was so blessed to see him perform in this revival
Having the Little Shop of Horror as a Tiny Desk its such a Tiny Disk to do
I love hearing an acoustic version of Suddenly Seymour! It's so wholesome and genuine!
' Sing it child ' One of my favourite musicals OF ALL TIME ! Lyrical gods ❤ I'm not lying when I say I'm crying here watching this 😭
It always seems that when Alan talks, he is one word away from an emotional breakdown.
Love how everyone looks like they’re having so much fun ❤
literally crying at this PLEASE do more musical casts
Would LOVE to see a Wicked Tiny Desk. Even one with the film cast would be great, Cynthia Erivo has out-of-this-world talent, I’d love to see her do literally anything on Tiny Desk

Tammy watching everyone else performing is the best. She truly loves it.
Couldn’t stop smiling, even when Suddenly Seymour made me cry. Such a gift.
Alan Menken is so precious! I really love how NPR went the extra mile and included him.
LOVE THIS REVIVAL! I saw it a few weeks ago and met Christina Rae after the show. She was so sweet and sincere (and can sing boots the house down). My future husband, Conrad was also incredible. Audrey II is officially my favorite villains I JUST LOVE LITTLE SHOP!

Saw it in December with Jeremy. So good. This was a delight to see, too.
OMG what a pleasant surprise this Tiny Desk is!! And with Alan Menken!
This 21 minutes brought me back to my safe childhood within this current hectic world…bravo
What a beautiful cast! I'd love to see more Tiny Desk Broadway.
I will always have a soft spot for the way the woman who portrayed Audrey in the movie sang suddenly Seymour, chills everytime so I am biased. That said, these guys all gave me chills in their own way, amazingly well done.
This Audrey was the weak link, totally let the other eleven down.
This is amazing. I grew up with the Rick Moranis remake movie and this music still has a place in my heart. Brings back great memories.
Conrad Ricamora is EVERYTHING!!! Perfection!
I absolutely needed this this morning! I used to think that Skid Row was the saddest song, but I couldn't help but smile watching this. Great cast!
'The Dentist'. The 4 of them, what a quartet, sung to absolute perfection. The timing, the sound, absolutely everything, ditto the band. Pity the poor pussycat though.
Aaron Arnell Harrington!!!! Standing ovation, what a voice!
He really killed it, just as good as the legendary Levi Stubbs but with his own spin. I also just love getting to see Aaron and Conrad do Feed Me face-to-face, it’s so cute and fun the way they interact during it, Aaron shimmying and slinking around, Conrad scandalized and blushing, they really have so much chemistry as Two-ey and Seymour

Big ups and RIP Levi Stubbs. His baritone was everything
This absolutely needs more views! What an INCREDIBLE set of performances!
Conrad dancing during skid row is the cutest thing ever 😍😍😍😍
Coming across this made me so happy 😍😭 and suddenly Seymour got me in my feels🥺 Brilliant performance by the entire cast and band ❤
