Wicked film star Ethan Slater and Broadway favorite Betsy Wolfe arrive on Skid Row July 21 as the two join the cast of Little Shop of Horrors as Seymour and Audrey, respectively, at Off-Broadway's Westside.
The Tony Award-nominated actress has stepped into the high heels of Madeline Ashton, a character at once glamorous, vulnerable, and "unapologetically unhinged." Betsy Wolfe first saw Death Becomes Her, the 1992 movie starring Meryl Streep and Goldie Hawn, long before deciding to pursue a musical theatre career. It was before she appeared in eight Broadway musicals including Waitress and Falsettos, before she became a Tony Award nominee in 2023 for & Juliet, before Death Becomes Her became a Broadway musical in which Wolfe currently stars as Madeline Ashton. Now, the 43-year-old's stage career is more alive than ever.
Broadway's Death Becomes Her got a new star earlier this year, and newly released production shots are giving us our best look yet! Turn your gaze to Betsy Wolfe as Madeline Ashton, opposite original star Jennifer Simard as Helen Sharp, in the gallery below.

To commemorate the run, Wolfe will be Broadway.com's latest vlogger. The new series, โDeath Becomes Betsy: Backstage at Death Becomes Her With Betsy Wolfe,โ will run for six weeks.
