== Biography ==
Audrey is a kind and sweet woman. Seymour had a crush on her for years, but she was dating the abusive Orin Scrivello, D.D.S. She would often come to work bruised after the "dates" she had with him, in which he would handcuff her. 
She however revealed her true feelings in "Somewhere That's Green", revealing that she wants to be a housewife to Seymour and have children (that look exactly like them) and wishes to have the perfect house and garden.
She was always supportive of Seymour when he became a celebrity of hosting Audrey II in a T.V. show. Later she feels responsible for the disappearance of Orin, having often wished he would die or disappear, and in "Suddenly Seymour" reveals to Seymour that abuse in her childhood led her to feel deserving of abuse from the men in her life. 
Seymour convinces her otherwise, and the two finally decide to be together. Later they plan to get married and escape Skid Row. However, when Audrey receives a phone call from Audrey II and rushes to the flower shop. Audrey learns, after trying to feed it, that Audrey II is an evil, talking, man-eating, violent plant and Audrey is almost eaten by Audrey II.
Original Ending: Seymour shows up but is too late to save Audrey. She dies in his arms, after instructing him to feed her to Audrey II so that he may become famous and wealthy. 
In her final song, Somewhere That's Green (Reprise), she states she’s strangely happy about this, because she’ll finally be somewhere that's green, both literally and figuratively. After she’s fed to the plant, Audrey II goes on to eat Seymour, produce multiple seedlings and eventually takes over the world.
Theatrical Ending: Seymour shows up just in the nick of time and rescues Audrey from a near death. Audrey then watches Seymour battle Audrey II in the song Mean Green Mother From Outer Space. When Seymour wins by shocking the plant with electrical wires, Audrey and Seymour are now a married couple and live happily in her dream home, blissfully unaware that one of Audrey II's seedlings has survived.
==Trivia==
*Ellen Greene as Audrey (I) is the only member of the 1982 Off-Broadway cast to appear in this film. When she originated the role in 1982, it was her idea to wear a blonde wig over her brunette curly hair. Howard Ashman originally saw Audrey as a brunette, based on Jackie Joseph's look in the original The Little Shop of Horrors (1960).
* The filmmakers originally offered the role of Audrey to Cyndi Lauper before casting original stage star Ellen Greene. Lauper wanted the part, but couldn't commit due to her recording/touring schedule at the time. Madonna was also reportedly considered for the role.
