Audrey II arrived at the Florida Rep scene shop in a shipping pod. She was too big to fit in the Rep's normal rehearsal hall. She had to be compressed just to fit through the scene shop's bay doors. She required a flatbed to make the three-block trip to the theater for opening night. And by the time she gets to the final act, she's bigger than the cab of an 18-wheeler. That alone makes "Little Shop of Horrors" must-see theater.
