Lizzie Roper Replaces Ellen Greene for Extension of Betwixt! in the West End

West End musical comedy Betwixt! has extended its run at London's Trafalgar Studios 2 until September 10. Star Ellen Greene, who is unable to continue with the production due to previous commitments, will play her final performance on the originally scheduled end date of August 20. British comic actress Lizzie Roper will then take over her three roles (identical triplets, The Enchantress, Princess and Nymph Queen). Betwixt! opened on July 26, directed by its author, Ian McFarlane.

Set in New York City, Betwixt! follows a young man suffering from writer's block. Alongside his roommate, he is flung into a fantasy world that involves brave heroes, daytime TV stars, sex-crazed nymphs, hunchbacks, cross-dressing mutes and much more.

Roper's West End credits include One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest, The Odd Couple, Peccadillo Circus and Through My Keyhole. She also appeared in August: Osage County at London’s National Theatre. Her television credits include Coronation Street and This Is Jinsy.

The Betwixt! cast also includes Benedict Salter, Steven Webb, Ashleigh Gray, Peter Duncan, Will Hawksworth, Alyssa Nicol, Vicki Lee Taylor and Rob Wilshaw.
