DeVito was most recently seen in the critically-acclaimed “The Secret Art of Human Flight,” alongside Paul Raci, which released in theaters in July 2024 in the US,.
In 2023 Lucy made her Broadway debut in a play called I NEED THAT, which she performed at the Roundabout Theatre. The play was written by American playwright Theresa Rebeck, specifically for Lucy and her father Danny DeVito. On stage, DeVito worked with Nora Ephron and Delia Ephron in the original readings of their play LOVE, LOSS, AND WHAT WORE. She performed the play many times in New York at the Westside Theater and in Los Angeles at the Geffen Playhouse. Among her other plays are Stefanie Zadravec's THE ELECTRIC BABY (directed by May Adrales), Bruce Graham's ANY GIVEN MONDAY, THE DIARY OF ANNE FRANK, in which she played Anne, and David Grimm’s THE MIRACLE AT NAPLES directed by Peter Dubois, BUMP, HOT MESS, HOW MY GRANDPARENTS FELL IN LOVE, and STEEL MAGNOLIAS.
In television, she was most recently heard voicing the lead character in FXX’s “Little Demon,” for which she also served as one of the executive producers, through production company Jersey Films 2nd Ave. Real life father Danny DeVito voiced the role of her character’s father, and also served as an executive producer.
