 Little Shop Of Horrors (1986 Film) : Music
I saw the 1986 film version of Little Shop Of Horrors with Rick Moranis and Ellen Greene and then rented out the movie soundtrack from the library and found that Suppertime(Reprise), Suddenly, Seymour(Reprise), and Feeding the Plant(the number where Orin gets chopped up) that are seen in the movie were not on the soundtrack.
Great film, with a fantastic cast of comic talent, but the soundtrack is not as good as the original stage show (get the new Broadway version if you want a real treat - it has all the original songs plus a few that never made it in!).
This is the soundtrack to the film of the broadway show.

It's my understanding that they did in fact film it the way it was done on Broadway, but a test audience full of Hollywood knuckle draggers didn't like it.
The off-Broadway comedy-horror-musical hit that ran for years makes a successful transfer to film with a bevy of big-name cameos and two perfectly cast leads.
First they film it, preview it, cut it, and put the happy ending in.

 'Little Shop of Horrors' keeps gobbling up appreciative fans
Audrey II, the man-eating plant that honed her palate in Brooklyn, made her debut in Corman's The Little Shop of Horrors, then went on to devour the world in an off-Broadway hit (1982), another, way-bigger-budgeted movie (1986) and who knows how many stage revivals since, all called Little Shop of Horrors.
Little Shop is the tale of Seymour, a nerdy florist's assistant who gets more than he paid for when he buys a plant from a mysterious Chinese merchant.
Little did Roger Corman know when he was churning out a creepy low-budget flick back in 1960 that he was creating a piece of nonsense with legs.

 Screen Musicals 1980s
The new golden age of animated musicals began when Little Shop of Horrors opened in a small Off-Broadway theatre in 1982.
When they adapted it for the screen in 1986 (directed by veteran Muppeteer Frank Oz), the results were even more entertaining, capturing the humorous sense of fantasy that most stage and screen musicals seemed to have lost.
In an eerie re-enactment of the early 1930s, the film musical was proclaimed dead by most industry executives -- just as musicals started kicking their way out of the grave to become a top-grossing genre by the 1990s.

When "Little Shop" was turned into a movie in 1986, Menken's name began to be associated with film music, and he was hired to breathe musical life into the (at the time) ailing Disney animation studio.
Shockingly, he has not scored a movie since 1997, although he has continued to be busy on Broadway and in other forms of musical theatre, premiering "King David" in late 1997, and supervision a new stage production of "Little Shop of Horrors" starring Hunter Foster and Kerry Butler.
