I'd rather see her mom, Leslie Mann, as Audrey!
Think they're hoping that she can bring in some new buyers. Euphoria has a lot of millennial fans, too. And it's a way for her to stretch her acting chops and try something new. Does she sing?
She feels a little young for the role as a young-looking 25 and hope there won't be an "ick" factor of her costars being 35-40."
LOL ''ick'' factor? Says you -whateva.
“I have long admired the emotional intelligence and vulnerability Maude has displayed on television and in film. She’s a natural fit for Audrey,” says the production’s Tony-winning director Michael Mayer. “It delighted me to learn that, as a child, ‘Little Shop’ was her gateway into her lifelong love of performing, and that this show gets to be her professional stage debut. We’re thrilled to have her become a part of the ‘Little Shop’ legacy.”
“We are overjoyed to welcome another incredible performer to the show. With her beautiful voice and immense talent, we cannot wait to see Maude light up the stage alongside Matt Doyle’s brilliant portrayal of Seymour,” says producer Robert Ahrens, on behalf of his partners. https://variety.com/2023/legit/news/maude-apatow-little-shop-of-horrors-euphoria-1235488541/
