general mayhem, ending, in a boffo finish worthy of P.D.Q. Bach. The most enjoyable addition the recent film made to the original was an updated Greek chorus, here played by Amy Hemphill (who also did the choreography), Maria Penfold, and Jocelyn Neal. As a group, they were stunningly good, and although only Perrfold's voice was strong enough to work well in the solo passages, they provided a solid, coherent backdrop for the wild happen- ings on stage. Stefan Wawersik, as Seymour, did an appropri- ately milquetoastish job with one astoundingly insipid smile which out of charity I will assume did not come naturally. One of the better musical-'' numbers was sung by Keri Baxter as Audrey, extolling the virtues of a suburban home, complete with a "fence of real chain link." And Kevin Timson's acting more than made up for his relatively weak singing voice. The least enviable part was Stephen Hanson's Orin the Sadistic Dentist, for this was the role that Steve Martin had absolutely made his own. One has to admire Hanson's willing- ness to attempt it, and despite a physique which makes the idea of his being an overpower- ing sadist rather implausible, he manages to pull it off.
