“Audrey II, although nonhuman, is a key character in the production and delivers big time. Audrey II is a collaboration between Steve Sabol, whose deep, demanding ‘feed me!’ voice gets everyone jumping; along with UConn graduate school puppeteer Austin Costello, who adds to the menacing mood every time he gets Audrey II to ‘open wide’.”
“This gloriously comedic foul creature is brought to life by the incomparable and breath-taking talent of unseen puppeteer Austin Costello... and the magnificently rich voice of singer and actor Steve Sabol.”
“Terrifically voiced by Steve Sabol and animated by Austin Costello, Audrey II (as Seymour wistfully names his botanical discovery) displays a decided preference for blood over plant food, and then...well, you can imagine Seymour’s dilemma.”
“Steve Sabol provides the voice for Audrey II, adding the right combination of whining and menace.”
“Another powerful voice is Steve Sabol who stops the show as The Puppet with “Feed Me”...”
“...the team of Steve Sabol and puppeteer Austin Costello form a dynamic union that gives the growing plant a believability that is both engaging and somewhat scary.”
