Trisha Paytas Haunts Broadway in Beetlejuice

Why this matters: This casting brings a fresh audience to Broadway, potentially attracting Paytas' large online fanbase. It also highlights the evolving landscape of Broadway, where internet personalities are increasingly taking the stage.

Trisha Paytas' foray into *Beetlejuice* is not their first brush with Broadway. They previously debuted with *Trisha Paytas’ Big Broadway Dream*, a benefit concert featuring Broadway stars. This new role, however, marks a more substantial engagement with the theater world.

*Beetlejuice*, based on Tim Burton's classic film, has had an unusual trajectory on Broadway. Despite earning eight Tony nominations, its original run was cut short by the 2020 pandemic shutdown. However, the musical found new life and returned for a second run before launching a national tour and now, another limited engagement.

Paytas' casting could inject new energy into the show and draw in a younger, more digitally engaged audience. The role of Maxine Dean, while not the lead, offers Paytas a chance to showcase their talents in a different medium. Fans can expect Paytas' unique style to blend with the quirky world of *Beetlejuice*. Get tickets to *Beetlejuice* here?ref=yanuki.com!
