Joy Woods is Audrey - SUDDENLY, SEYMOUR with Matt Doyle | Little Shop of Horrors

[@jasonqueue6300]

Love how the director has chosen to stage it in this production - with Seymour joining Crystal, Ronette and Chiffon's tableau at the song's climax. Audrey left alone center stage in her own spotlight as she realizes she can "learn how to be more the girl that's inside me." Really made me hear the song differently. Just stunning.

[@revengeofbcraig5755]

They did that in the movie version too.

[@jasonqueue6300]

@@revengeofbcraig5755 No, they did it totally differently in the movie. Seymour runs up to her as she sings "Showed me I can learn how to bean more the girl that's inside me."

[@revengeofbcraig5755]

@@jasonqueue6300 I thought you meant him singing with the girls, not with how everyone was staged.

[@iCodeSwitch]

It's really nice!! Subtle but empowers Audrey in that moment, so it's not only about Seymour the entire song

[@RENThead12]

THE CLARITY in her voice!! 🎉 and love that she’s not trying to be another imitation of Ellen

[@briantuma1502]

I came here to say the same thing. She breathes new life into a roll that can easily fall into a caricature of Ellen

[@Beherenoww]

She does however hit the "he don't condescANNND" note the way Ellen does and for that she gets extra points. Lol I judge every Audrey by how they hit that one note

[@BKDAYZ]

Yes, that grabbed my ear riiiight away! The clarity indeed!! Rare and stunning.

[@nathankuhns]

She’s making it her own in such a beautiful way. No copycat performance here. Also Matt is so good in this role.

[@joepalarca]

That's such a great way to put it. Joy's is the first I've seen ages where I feel like it's a new performance I want to see all of.

[@dayvaughnmonroe9540]

Like even the way she carries her body im like this girl is acting inside out

[@nickydrinnan2683]

she has so much stage presence. she's absolutely enchanting. matt doyle might be my favourite seymour, ever, but i can't take my eyes off of joy. the pro recording and cast album are REQUIRED.

[@kirstindaniels1272]

I adore Matt as Seymour and I am bummed he is leaving soon.

[@brandong4576]

Her last "suddenly Seymore" at 3:00 is unreal... She takes the "Sey" down mid-syllable, then pulls "more" up mid-syllable perfectly and I had to listen to it at .25x like 20 times to understand what she was doing and how. Stunning.

[@spanishstudiolanguagecente4751]

I saw the two of them do this twice in one week... very good

[@DiegoAlvarezBeltran1993.]

And the pitch change? That's like audio crack.

[@OrangeTabbyCat]

People are really picking this apart, aren’t they? 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@SingerEsq]

Joy has made this her own. She’s effortlessly singing but what an impact. The altered not at “Learn how to be more …” brought me to tears. The apex has always been the preceding “can,” but “LEARN how to be more …. “. Just thrilling. Wish I could get to NYC when she’s on.

[@BernardTheArtiste]

Yes! The high E5 instead of the high C#5 is perfect for it!!!

[@koook160]

I saw her on stage yesterday. They’re not going to get a better Audrey than her for the rest of this production’s run. Her performance was so heartbreaking, so sincere, so endearing. I hope she gets a ton of offers and opportunities. She deserves to become a big thing.

[@Ash-zw2wu]

I saw her in August of 2023 and I'm still not over her performance

[@avalapotosky9494]

[@michaelaberlich6011]

[@MichaelSmith-ix2un]

Wow, wow, wow… she is amazing and that is a hard song for the female part. It’s like one of the most difficult female parts and she killed it. Not to mention she’s probably the most gorgeous woman I’ve ever seen. I’m a huge fan immediately. 😍

[@pibbitybibbity]

ARGH! I wish I could see this! These two have great chemistry and they killed this song PERFECTLY! Love it!

[@SethInNYC]

I had the pleasure of seeing this duo in person and I can honestly say that their live performance was even better than this.

[@farshssps7338]

Very nice. Different but still very good as compared to Ellen Greene. I am so happy to see Matt Doyle finally gets the chance to play Seymour. He sang this song 6-7 yes ago and I told my friend that he would be perfect for that role. Congrats to both performers. I saw it with Groff. Maybe I will see it again.

[@DrDanEng]

I always look for the long-felt pain and disbelief in these two characters, but the sheer brilliance and power of this simply blew me away. Stellar singing.

I'm just back here to say that seeing this clip inspired me to go see the show with Matt and Joy in it, and they were every bit as good live as they were in this clip, if not better. Truly, I don't think there has ever been a better Seymour-Audrey duo on-stage. Their performances were incandescent, their chemistry crackling, and their voices perfectly brought Alan and Howard's beautiful songs to life. Bravo, from the bottom of my heart!

I just saw LSOH with my daughter in March, but this really makes me want to go see it again. Lena Hall was a tremendous Audrey, but Joy looks amazing as well - what a voice!

[@daveku99]

Great voice. I did not know what to expect. She didn't sing with that 'gritty' downtown poor girl voice. No accent ( I did not feel much emotion for the character. However, she came into her own when she brought that 'southern gospel soulful belting out loud' vibe. That was the emotion I was looking for. I am not sterotyping, but I see her 'Audrey' as a girl from the south, brought up in the church and gospel music. She and her mother escape to the big city for a better life, but don't succeed; but finds security in her gospel upbringing. That is the interpretation, I'd like to see. Just my 2 cents.

Ngl I was wondering that myself. This only shows Audrey singing, so I was hoping that they at least kept the raspy, babydoll speaking voice for the dialogue. I was excited to see Joy Woods’s name, but losing the iconic hair, voice, and the skintight animal-print mini dresses just kills me.
