The pop singer-songwriter is bringing the Greek goddess Persephone to vivid life eight times a week.
– which won eight Tony Awards in 2019 – found a fresh face for Persephone, the dichotomous Greek goddess of spring and queen of the underworld, in singer-songwriter Betty Who., Who surprised fans by revealing that her next move was a Broadway debut. Despite it being her first professional acting gig, the Australia-born talent got a part in the edgy mythological musical without auditioning. “This was…with a winking braggadocio when asked about landing the role.
“It turns out, I love acting,” says Who, sitting in the front row of the Walter Kerr Theatre on a Monday, Broadway’s weekly day of rest. “The 10-year-old in me still can’t believe it,” she adds, eying the silent stage of the mostly empty theater.about finding her voice as an actor, taking inspiration from Shakespeare and what surprises she’s learned about herself during this process.
Yes, it was absolutely a childhood dream. The lines, when you’re a kid, between theater and pop stardom are very blurred, so my love for the theater and Britney Spears inspired me to want to be performing. My mom was really big on taking me to see shows – such a gift she gave me. To arrive here at this juncture and to have this opportunity to do a show I love so much — but also act on Broadway? My husband — straight culture — is calling it the NFL, being like, “You’ve made it to the big leagues.
I think my anxiety levels would have been a thousand times higher had not Phillip been starting with me. He’s been such an incredible partner and friend — he’s a Broadway king, he’s been here, done that. He’s an OG Broadway boy and to have him in rehearsals being like, “This is a really hard show,” is like, “Okay, thank you for validating my fears.” The first few weeks we both felt like we were never going to learn or remember it. It’s so dense, very Shakespearean.
