Madeline Ashton knows she\u2019s a star. After all, if there\u2019s any doubt of the rather indisputable fact of her dazzling celebrity, just ask the leading lady of the (fictional) Broadway<\/a> musical Me! Me! Me!<\/i> herself.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe <\/i>definitely thinks she’s an icon. I mean, she’s a two-time Oscar nominee,\u201d muses Betsy Wolfe, who\u2019s just started playing Madeline in the real-life Broadway smash Death Becomes Her<\/i><\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Tony nominee, whose long resume includes shows like JOY: A New True Musical<\/i>, & Juliet<\/i>, Falsettos<\/i>, Bullets Over Broadway<\/i>, Waitress<\/i>, The Last Five Years<\/i> and 110 in the Shade<\/i>, took over the role of Death Becomes Her<\/i>\u2019s resident diva following original star Megan Hilty\u2019s exit from the musical in January 2026.<\/p>\n

Since then, Wolfe has been savoring every moment in Madeline\u2019s gloriously self-important heels, performing songs<\/a> like \u201cFor The Gaze,\u201d \u201cTell Me, Ernest\u201d and \u201cAlive Forever\u201d eight times a week at the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As the first actor to take over a leading role in the musical since its premiere on Broadway in November 2024, the Visalia, California native finds herself in a unique position known in theater industry shorthand as \u201creplacing.\u201d<\/p>\n
