In a fresh conversation earlier in the year, primary actor Annaleigh Ashford shared her profound respect for the initial Mrs. Lovett, Broadway icon Angela Lansbury.
"I forever dreamed of emulating Angela Lansbury as I grew older, since she personified the penultimate role actress. She possessed the talent to find humor and life, as well as compassion within every single persona she played… She performed during an era when the prevailing influence was the patriarchy, and she navigated with elegance and affection… Each time I met her — our paths crossed thrice — I shed tears in an awkward that was uncomfortable enough for me to withdraw."
