About the play: “Little Shop of Horrors,” which first premiered in New York City in 1982 before it moved to off-Broadway's Orpheum Theater, follows the story of down-on-his-luck florist Seymour as he tries to turn his boss’ plant shop business around. When Seymour discovers a rare and voracious plant, he names it after his co-worker and crush Audrey.

Their excitement: Wu and Bleu expressed their mutual excitement after the news of their casting was announced in late August. Wu said “Little Shop of Horrors” became her favorite musical after she “first saw a community production growing up in Richmond, Virginia.”

Working together: Wu and Awkwafina worked together in the hit 2018 romance-comedy movie “Crazy Rich Asians.” Wu revealed in June 2022 that the “wheels are moving” for the film’s sequel.
