Episode 109: Little Shop of Horrors by Renee M as Audrey

Hello and welcome back to ArtBeat Radio. My name is Renee and I am a student at Able ARTS Work San Diego.  In 2021, I was cast as the lead role of Audrey in "Little Shop of Horrors". In today's episode, I will be singing two of my favorite songs from the musical: "Suddenly Seymour" and "Somewhere That's Green". Not only did I sing, but I chose the instrumentation and tempo to make the songs my own! I hope you enjoy!  Suddenly Seymore Lyrics (Role of Audrey sang by Renee Evette Morneau, Role of Seymore sang by Kassidy King, MT-BC) Seymore (Kassidy:Lift up your head, wash off your mascara Here, take my Kleenex, wipe that lipstick away Show me your face clean as the mornin' I know things were bad but now they're okaySuddenly Seymour is standing beside you You don't need no makeup, Don't have to pretend Suddenly Seymour, is here to provide you With sweet understanding, Seymour's your friend Audrey (Renee)Nobody ever treated me kindlyDaddy left early, mamma was poor I'd meet a man and I'd follow him blindly He'd snap his fingers me I'd say, "Sure"Suddenly, Seymour is standing beside me He don't give me orders, he don't condescend Suddenly, Seymour is here to provide me Sweet understanding, Seymour's my friend Seymore (Kassidy)Tell me this feeling lasts 'til forever Tell me the bad times are clean washed away Audrey (Renee)Please understand that it's still strange and frightening Both losers like I've been it's so hard to saySuddenly, Seymour (Suddenly, Seymour) Is standing beside  He don’t give me orders He don’t condescend Suddenly, Seymour He’s here to provide me  Seymore (Kassidy) With sweet understanding Audrey (Renee)(With sweet understanding) Seymore (Kassidy)With sweet understanding Audrey (Renee)With sweet understanding) Seymore (Kassidy)With sweet understanding Audrey (Renee)Seymour is your man Somewhere That’s Green Lyrics (role of Audrey sang by Renee Evette Morneau) I know Seymour's the greatest  But I'm dating a semi-sadist  So I've got a black eye  And my arm's in a cast.  Still, that Seymour's a cutie  Well, if not, he's got inner beauty  And I dream of a place  Where we could be together at last  A small house of our own  A fence of real chain link,  A grill out on the patio  Disposal in the sink  A washer and a dryer and small plasma TV  In a tract house that we share  Somewhere that's green.  He rakes and trims the grass  He takes me to the park   I cook like Martha Stewart    And I look like Emelia Clark   There's plastic on the furniture  To keep it neat and clean  In the Pine-Sol scented air  Somewhere that's green  Between our frozen dinner  And our bedtime, nine-fifteen  We snuggle watchin' Lucy  On our big, enormous TV screen  I'm his December Bride  He's Father, he Knows Best  Our kids watching Newsies  As the sun sets in the west  A picture out of Better Homes and Gardens magazine  Far from Skid Row  I dream we'll go  Somewhere that's green.
