Upon Leaving & Juliet, Betsy Wolfe Will Miss That Rose Tattoo

Sometimes it's best to leave on a high note.

After nearly three years of chart-topping success, many of the original & Juliet stars are moving on to new adventures. Betsy Wolfe, the longtime star of the hit Max Martin jukebox musical, played her final performance as Shakespeare's wife, Anne Hathaway, October 20 (Alison Luff will take over the role beginning October 22). The show was a momentous one for Wolfe—not only was it the longest production she's ever been in, she also received her first Tony nomination from it. But she's not the only one departing. Her original cast costars—Justin David Sullivan, Ben Jackson Walker, and Philippe Arroyo—will play their final performances October 27. Paolo Szot will depart January 19.

Before she left, Wolfe caught up with Playbill where she reflected on her momentous journey with the show, its impact on her personal life, and the item she just might swipe from backstage on her way out the door.
