Betty Who chats with EW about making her Broadway debut in 'Hadestown' as the tenacious Persephone — and the one big pain that comes with it.
Betty Who and Phillip Boykin in 'Hadestown'I'm so grateful to be part of a show that defies norms. I think of the generosity of spirit that everybody has who has put this show together to put us in, to cast these people who are totally different from the original Broadway cast — to let us all have these different iterations of the show. I think the show can sustain it. It's literally a myth of epic proportions.
For me, the thing that has always worked best is trying to bring as much of myself to this thing as I can. So, "How can I make it more me?" as opposed to "How can I fit myself into somebody else's perception of what this is meant to be?" It's like, "What is the mostversion of this thing and then let me massage that.
I'll tell you what, I stand for a long time in this show — and in heels. Let me tell you, my friend, I'm not really a heel girly these days, or a nail girly. But her wardrobe and lifestyle choices have seeped into my own experience now. My feet hurt all the time because I'm wearing heels for three hours a day. [I think that one of the notes that I got in rehearsals was that I'm actually a lot more grounded when I have a scene partner.
