I'm auditioning for Little Shop of Horrors in a couple of weeks. I know the general plot, but I haven't seen it. I'm planning to rent the movie. Is the movie faithful to the play?

Yes, the play is very faithful. One of the biggest differences is the orchestration. The movie version is very heavy on synthesizer and sound very 80s pop. The stage version has more of a 50s piano sound that I prefer.
And the movie includes the song "Mean Green Mother From Outer Space" which is not in the stage show. We did a version once where the director wanted to include that song and it ended up being pretty lame.
Have fun.
Oh, and enjoy this

Pretty close!
(okay, everyone, get THIS out of your head)
........
When I was young and just a bad little kid,
My momma noticed funny things I did.
Like shootin' puppies with a BB-Gun.
I'd poison guppies, and when I was done,
I'd find a pussy-cat and bash in it's head.
That's when my momma said...
(What did she say?)
She said my boy I think someday
You'll find a way
To make your natural tendencies pay...
You'll be a dentist.
You have a talent for causing things pain!
Son, be a dentist.
People will pay you to be inhumane!
You're temperment's wrong for the priesthood,
And teaching would suit you still less.
Son, be a dentist.
You'll be a success.
"Here he is folks, the leader of the plaque."
"Watch him suck up that gas. Oh My God!"
"He's a dentist and he'll never ever be any good."
"Who wants their teeth done by the Marqui DeSade?"
"Oh, that hurts! Wait! I'm not numb!"
"Eh, Shut Up! Open Wide! Here I Come!"
I am your dentist.
And I enjoy the career that I picked.
I'm your dentist.
And I get off on the pain I inflict!
I thrill when I drill a bicuspid.
It's swell, though then tell me I'm mal-adjusted.
And though it may cause my patients distress.
Somewhere...Somewhere in heaven above me...
I know...I know that my momma's proud of me.
"Oh, Momma..."
'Cause I'm a dentist...
And a success!
"Say ahh..."
"Say AHhhh..."
"Say AAARRRHHHH!!!"
"Now Spit!"
