Alan Menken (Act 1 Finale (from Little Shop Of Horrors))
Little Shop of Horrors Act 1: Scene 4 & Coda
Part 8 of Westminster Dramatic Association's 2009 production of the 1982 musical, "Little Shop of Horrors." BOOK & LYRICS BY HOWARD ASHMAN MUSIC BY ALAN MENKEN Seymour finds Orin at his office and points a gun at him. Orin easily takes the gun from Seymour, wrestles him into the dentist's chair, and threatens him with the drill. Orin pulls out a container of laughing gas, complete with a gas mask and puts it on himself to get high. In a gassed-out blissful moment, Orin disappears behind the chair. Seymour realizes that he should kill Orin now while he has the opportunity, but he can not bring himself to pull the trigger. Meanwhile, Orin can not get his gas mask off and realizes that he could asphyxiate to death. After much internal ethical debate, Seymour decides not to remove Orin's gas mask. Consequently, Orin laughs himself to death ("Now (It's Just The Gas)"). As Seymour feeds Orin's body parts to the plant, Crystal, Ronnette, and Chiffon sing about the creepy things happening in the flower shop. ("Act One Finale")
