Constance Wu said: “Little Shop has been my #1 favorite musical since I first saw a community production growing up in Richmond, Virginia. The music is so wonderful & I love Audrey.

I am so excited to be in this production, singing and performing alongside the brilliant Corbin Bleu, and enjoying the thrill of live & alive theater with the audience.”
Corbin Bleu said: “I’ve been a fan of Little Shop since childhood - I watched the film on repeat. It’s a perfect musical and this is definitely a dream fulfilling moment for me. I am really looking forward to performing with Constance and finding our Seymour & Audrey dynamic. We both love and crave live theater – our mutual excitement is kinetic.”
