Constance Wu and Will Sage AstorCorbin Bleu are taking their talents from the big screen to the stage.
The two actors have been cast as Audrey and Seymour, respectively, in the off-Broadway production of "Little Shop of Horrors," the production announced Monday. They will take over for actors Joy Woods and Jeremy Jordan — who currently star as Audrey and Seymour — in the musical, which was revived at the Westside Theatre in 2019. Woods' run concludes Sept. 24, while Jordan will take a bow on Sept. 17.
Bleu and Wu will take to the stage alongside Audrey II, the famous carnivorous plant, starting Sept. 26, according to the show's Instagram post.
"'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," Wu said in a statement. "I relate to her scrappiness and finding beauty in the simple things."
The "Crazy Rich Asians" and "Hustlers" star also noted excitement over "enjoying the thrill of live & alive theater with the audience.”
Her latest co-star called playing the down-on-his-luck florist Seymour in "Little Shop" “a dream fulfilling moment for me."
“I am really looking forward to performing with Constance and finding our Seymour & Audrey dynamic," Bleu said in a statement. "We both love and crave live theater — our mutual excitement is kinetic.”
They will be joined on stage by Broadway veterans Bryce Pinkham as Dr. Orin Scrivello, Brad Oscar as Mushnik and Aaron Arnell Harrington as the voice of Audrey II.
Wu grew up performing in community theater productions in Richmond and had her breakout role as the Huang family matriarch on the ABC show "Fresh Off the Boat," which aired 2015-2020. Corbin Bleu starred in the Disney Channel hit franchise, "High School Musical," and recently returned to its modern-day spin-off, "High School Musical: The Musical: The Series," for its last two seasons.
Bleu has starred in a number of stage productions since making his Broadway debut in 2010 as Usnavi in "In the Heights." He recently wrapped on a production of a new musical called "Summer Stock" at the Goodspeed Opera House in Connecticut.
Wu released her debut book, "Making a Scene," late last year and welcomed her second child earlier this year.
