Kelly Clarkson brought a little Broadway nostalgia to daytime TV.
On a recent episode of The Kelly Clarkson Show, Clarkson teamed up with Lawrence Zarian for a performance of "Suddenly, Seymour" from Little Shop of Horrors.
The duet opened the episode, giving viewers a familiar showtune moment before the rest of the hour began.
"Suddenly, Seymour" is one of the most recognizable songs from Little Shop of Horrors, and it gave Clarkson the kind of big, emotional duet that fits her voice well.
Clarkson has made covers a major part of her talk show through her Kellyoke segments. While she often takes on pop, rock and country favorites, she has also performed plenty of Broadway songs over the years.
According to BroadwayWorld, Clarkson has previously covered "She Used to Be Mine" from Waitress and "Losing My Mind" from Follies.
Lawrence Zarian Joined Her for the Duet
Zarian joined Clarkson for the performance, taking on the Seymour side of the duet while Clarkson handled the Audrey part.
The song gave the two a built-in theatrical moment, with Clarkson leaning into the number's emotion.

The Show Has Leaned Into Broadway
Since The Kelly Clarkson Show moved to New York in 2023, Broadway has become a more visible part of the daytime series. The show has featured Broadway stars and performers including Bernadette Peters, Darren Criss and Robyn Hurder.
Little Shop of Horrors began as a low-budget 1960 horror-comedy film directed by Roger Corman before becoming the much more famous stage musical. The musical version, with music by Alan Menken and book and lyrics by Howard Ashman, opened Off-Off-Broadway in 1982 before moving Off-Broadway and becoming a major hit.
Its mix of dark comedy, doo-wop-style songs and the strange love story between Seymour, Audrey and the man-eating plant Audrey II helped make it a cult favorite. The musical was later adapted into the 1986 movie starring Rick Moranis and Ellen Greene, which introduced songs like “Suddenly, Seymour” to an even wider audience.
