Maude Apatow Will Feature in ‘Little Shop of Horrors’ For Her Off-Broadway Debut 

Maude Apatow is all set to make her New York stage debut with Michael Mayer’s revival of ‘Little Shop of Horrors’. The Euphoria actress has taken over the role from the Tony ‘Away’ winner, Lena Hall.

Mayer, in a news release, said, “I have long admired the emotional intelligence and vulnerability Maude has displayed on television and in film. She’s a natural fit for Audrey.”

He added, “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,” said the producer of ‘Little Shop of Horrors’, Robert Ahrens. “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.”

In an interview, Apatow was asked what her character Lexi from ‘Euphoria’ considered “euphoria”.

She answered, “Freedom from yourself and your thoughts and negative thoughts, negative self-talk,” Apatow said. “Once that’s out of the way, you can realise your full potential, and I think that’ll probably [be] hers: stop attacking herself.”
