Aubrey Plaza, the Emmy-nominated star of “The White Lotus,” is currently making waves in New York City’s theater world with her role in the Off-Broadway revival of John Patrick Shanley’s play, “Danny and the Deep Blue Sea.” However, what’s capturing the spotlight isn’t just her performance but her unexpected living arrangement with Broadway icon Patti LuPone.
A Surprising Roommate Bond
In a recent interview with Vulture, Plaza and her co-star Christopher Abbott delved into their preparation for the intense and emotionally charged play. Amidst discussions about their roles, the article dropped a bombshell: Aubrey Plaza is living on the Upper West Side with none other than Patti LuPone, her recent collaborator on the Marvel series “Agatha: Darkhold Diaries.”
A Motherly Figure and Mentor
LuPone has taken on the role of a surrogate mother for Plaza during their time together. She’s been preparing soup and taking care of Plaza’s laundry, all the while offering invaluable advice to the young actress. Plaza recounted LuPone’s insistence in helping her, saying, “She’s trying to whip me into shape.”
The Wisdom of a Broadway Legend
In addition to domestic support, Patti LuPone has been sharing her wealth of experience with Plaza. From tales of strep throat as a rite of passage to insights about the difference between stage and camera acting, LuPone has become an unexpected mentor in Plaza’s life.
Aubrey Plaza’s journey in the world of theater takes an extraordinary twist, as she finds herself living with a Broadway legend who has not only opened her home but her heart to a rising star.
