I think the sadness of the original ending was something Seymour deserved, but at the same time it would have just sucked to watch Audrey suffer. The movie already was played for lots of comedy so it would have been pretty dark to go with the original ending.

OP

[(Anonymous)]

The other thing is, in the original play, Seymour is far more culpable than in the movie. He has an entire song to decide whether or not to let Orin die, whereas in the movie he's freaked out and it just sort of happens. Same deal with Mr. Mushnik--in the play, Seymour actually tricks him into getting eaten instead of just being scared and confused and even sort of warning him in the last minute. Also in the movie, after Mr. Mushnik's death, he's getting dragged along, haplessly looking for a way out, until Audrey's near-death forces him to finally stand up and take responsibility, whereas in the play he actually chooses to sign those contracts, knowing it will mean more killing, in order not to lose Audrey. In that context, as tragic as Audrey's death is, it is both honest and necessary. She represents the truly good and innocent who will suffer under the destruction Seymour has unleashed on the world in the course of his pursuit of personal gain.

Apparently, a full version of "The Meek Shall Inherit" (basically, the "sell your soul to the devil" sequence) was filmed but discarded once they chose to go with the happy ending. Without that plot element, Audrey's death would be just overly cruel for the sake of being dark.
