Chris Evans Thinks He Should Totally Be The Dentist In A Little Shop Of Horrors Remake

Chris Evans wants to share his musical talents with the rest of the world, and we totally support him.


In a new interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Chris talked openly about doing musical theater as a child. He even played Randolph MacAfee in Bye Bye Birdie, saying that being onstage even at an early age "felt like residence He noted that all the Evans children putting on musical performances for relatives throughout the holidays in past years.


"Fuckin' Von Trapps, man," Evans joked. "I'm like 12, 13. I'm not, like, 6. I'm old enough to know better. We all thought it was so regular to be singing in front of my cousins and aunts and uncles at Christmas. Mortifying."


However it appears all of that musicality spurred Evans to desire a very specific role in a musical later on in life: Little Shop of Horrors.


"I desire to do a musical so badly, man," he mentioned. "Someone notified me they're remaking Little Shop of Horrors and I was like, 'Oh, can I be down? Please? Can I be the dentist?'"


Imagine it: Chris Evans taking on Steve Martin's iconic role because the evil dentist Dr. Orin Scrivello, singing lines like: "I am your dentist! And I like the career that I picked. I'm your dentist! And I get off on the pain I inflict!" We just know he'd bring the ideal mixture of maniac and charmer to the role. However that isn't the only spot he would have loved to have taken in a musical.


whenever I first came out here, early 2000s, there were rumblings about Spielberg maybe doing West Side Story," he mentioned. "That's one of my preferred musicals. I did it Whenever I was in high school. And naturally he's doing it right now, and I called my team and so they were like, Chris — maybe Krupke. You can't. You're also old. It's so hard to hear." Naturally, we disagree. Evans in West Side Story? Bring it on!


Unfortunately, we haven't heard any added rumblings about Chris bringing his singing voice to the masses with a musical role once soon, yet just know this: For the record, we think he'd make a brilliant Tony or Dr. Scrivello.
