YouTube star and social media influencer Trisha Paytas will make her Broadway debut next month when she joins the cast of “Beetlejuice,” according to Playbill. She will perform in the show from November 4 to November 23, 2025.
Trisha Paytas’s Role in Beetlejuice
Paytas will be playing Maxine Dean in the Broadway musical based on the movie of the same name. Previously, this role was played by Sharone Sayegh. Typically, the actress playing Maxine Dean also plays the role of Juno, although Paytas will only be performing the former role. Sayegh will continue to play Juno.
According to Playbill, Paytas’s role in the musical will be fairly minor. According to the site, “Maxine Dean is the wife of Maxie Dean, the Chairman of Botco Industries who is invited for dinner by the Deetzes.”
Paytas took to Instagram to express her excitement over the opportunity. In this post, she said “Beetlejuice” the musical “has been so near and dear” to her heart, and that she saw the show on tour last year. She also wrote about her love of Broadway in general, saying, “Broadway and live theatre have always been my escape since [I was] a young girl.”
Paytas won’t be the first YouTube star to perform in “Beetlejuice.” Two years ago, Keith Habersberger from “The Try Guys” joined the stage for one night, detailing the experience in a video you can watch below:
