Usually the spark ignites from the very first notes to guarantee a worthwhile evening. As someone who sees a lot of musical theatre on an extremely frequent basis, often I forget all about this special spark and how powerful it can be. Then I see something like <em>Little Shop of Horrors<\/em> directed by Ted Dyskra at the Canadian Stage Company and am blown away by It.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A story about a poverty-stricken, nerdy botanist named Seymour whose careful nurturing of an exotic plant with a taste for blood not only turns his own world upside-down but wreaks havoc worldwide does not immediately sound like the perfect ingredients for a musical. However, this campy little show with its satire of musical theatre and science fiction has become one of Broadway\u2019s most produced musicals. Its success is due to the amazing collaboration between Alan Menken and Howard Ashman, the team that would go on to gives us the classic scores to Disney\u2019s <em>The Little Mermaid<\/em> (1989), <em>Beauty and the Beast<\/em> (1991) and <em>Aladdin<\/em> (1992). With a sadistic dentist, a bluesy talking plant, one of the most awkward- yet surprisingly charming- romantic couplings in musical theatre history, clever lyrics, snappy music, a wonderfully bizarre narrative and hilarious dialogue: Ashman and Menken seem to have created a sure-fire hit.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">That said, in the Canadian Stage production IT is in the astounding cast of nine brilliant performers. Ron Pederson does not simply star as the delightfully clumsy Seymour, but actually transforms into the role he has obviously carefully shaped- with beautiful clear physicality, a perfect Skid Row accent, intonations of love, awkwardness, loyalty and fierceness all mixed together and genius comic timing. He also has one of those singing voices that you wish you could bottle and keep with you for whenever you\u2019re feeling down. It soars. It\u2019s radiant. It has that spark. R\u00e9jean Cournoyer shows a gigantic array of his talents in playing various characters, each one both distinctive and compelling.. He is fantastically terrible as Orin,, the dentist- walking the perfect balance between eliciting humor and disgust simultaneously. His brutal strength is consistently clear- he delivers one of the most realistic across-the-face-slaps I have seen onstage- and yet his laughing fit is perfectly hysterical. I find Orin\u2019s interaction with Seymour in this particular version especially fascinating as a complex interplay is clear between Pederson and Cournoyer\u2019s strong, complex characters.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Also a highlight is watching Sheldon Davis and Ron Pederson dance together in the number \u201cMushnik and Son\u201d, while Jenni Burke, Starr Domingue and Michelle E. White (Ronette, Crystal, Chiffon) provide the show with its constant energy, life and soul as they are musically inter-spliced into the action. The perfectly in-synch duo of Jeff Jones as the voice for Audrey II and Eric Woolfe as the puppeteer are astounding in their ability to give life to this character that surpasses audiences reacting to a puppet and beyond their perception of what constitutes \u201crealistic\u201d plant behaviour. Once Jeff Jones begins to sing \u201cFeed Me,\u201d you won\u2019t want him to stop.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">They all have got the spark to give to the show, but it is Patricia Zentilli as Audrey, the battered and bruised flower shop girl with painfully low self-esteem, who brings down the house with her rendition of \u201cSuddenly Seymour.\u201d Her voice alone will leave you breathless in wonder at its sheer force and simultaneous beauty, clarity and resonance- add on her shrewd sense of comedy, her ability to make audiences laugh and cry at the same time and a beautiful and truly compelling portrayal of a girl who honestly believes she deserves no better than to be handcuffed by a sadist- Zentilli is reason enough to head downtown to the Canadian Stage Theatre and check out <em>Little Shop of Horrors<\/em> now playing until December 15, 2007.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>For tickets call 416. 368. 3110 or visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.canstage.com\/\">http:\/\/www.canstage.com\/<\/a>.
