Blair Young and Little Shop of Horrors

Blair is a working stage, screen and voice actor and the president of ACTRA Alberta, the acting union for screen and voice performers. He shares with hosts Joe and Mark some fun acting stories and how various actors pursue their art before talking about the play that still inspires him, Little Shop of Horrors. Blair got to see the show at the age of 17 on the West End. That version starred Ellen Greene, the original Audrey on Broadway. (She also plays the character in the 1986 movie version of the show.) Blair loved the characters, the songs, the puppet that is the alien, and the chorus, which sings do-wop songs. At the end of the show, tentacles dropped from the ceiling into the audience. The whole thing blew his mind. "This is what I want to do," Blair said after seeing the show. For pure fun and laughs, this is an episode not to be missed!
