...also be commended for the wonderful costumes of Little Shop. The trio's outfits range from basic black to sequins with appropriate minor alterations--Chinese jackets, dental hygienist coats--for every scene they appear in. Each of Audrey's tacky outfits is funnier than the last, and the biker dentist sports a leather jacket with a bleeding tooth on the back...
