For years, the only version of Frank Oz’s ebullient film adaptation of the smash off-Broadway musical was the theatrical cut, re-edited with a new, happy ending after test audiences reacted badly to the stage production’s darker, apocalyptic ending. Enjoy this 40th anniversary screening with the original ending restored in all its glory. Rick Moranis and Ellen Greene are star-crossed skid-row lovers brought together and nearly torn apart from a giant, man-eating plant from outer space.
This screening will be introduced by Nottingham Puppet Festival’s original co-producer, David Longford.
