[@ComputerGeek1100]

@@triplethreatmua9423 I think Leslie only played Paulette once - the understudies weren't rehearsed yet and Leslie knew most of the material so she did one performance (and absolutely crushed it, there's a video of it somewhere on KZbin)

"UNICORNS ARE SCARY!"

[@AlwaysM0ndayy]

The acting here is superb! Musical Delia already captured a caricature of “that” type of person pretty well, but this actress sells it so hard that it makes me feel like I could encounter her irl

[@awmperry]

Yeah - the original Delia presents more of the 70s/80s woo, while this Delia perfectly encapsulates the modern Facebook Avocado Wolfe-sharing loon. It's a brilliant depiction.

I personally think that the Delia and Lydia were amazing. You all have to remember that there not going to be exactly like the original actors and that the directors and producers of Beetlejuice picked them and I think they know what they were doing. The hate on these two ladies in the comments disgust me. Beetlejuice is a amazing fandom with not a lot of hate and lets keep it that way.

I saw Natalie as Delia when we went to see Beetlejuice instead of Leslie, and she was AMAZING!! She was so energetic, funny, and talented and just WOW!!

[@marleesuarez7162]

Presley Ryan was so underrated as Lydia. It breaks my heart that when she was promoted to leading lady, she was only going to be in the role for about a month. That then got cut short, and she didn’t get invited back from most likely schooling, as she recently shared she was accepted into college. I hope she can reprise her role soon, even for just a small amount of time. She was definitely my favorite Lydia, though I do love them all.

[@MysteriousGirl10]

She was going to leave the show anyway. She posted about it on her Instagram in 2020.

[@marleesuarez7162]

@@MysteriousGirl10 Yeah. Elizabeth Teeter was in rehearsal to take over the role and was set to finish out the WG run.

[@art1st1cly]

I feel like this one gives me more of Ms. Flemming (Heathers) vibes in it. She's an amazing singer but I have to say Leslie killed it better tho. edit: but i love she made delia a bit more comedic-- er i mean aggressive lmao

@C.B. Productions I have no intention to compare them. If I did then I apologize but doesn't mean I hate her portrayal, I just prefer someone else and there's nothing wrong with having a preference.

[@invisible7974]

Respectfully disagree only because in the movie Delia was a lot more straight forward like this version I feel like she embodies Delia more than Leslie did she was really good and both of them are but Leslie plays off Delia as a dumb character when in the movie she was so much more I feel like this actress did a better job interpreting Delia then Leslie but they are both amazing non the less

[@ashleybuttafuoco]

Woah! This is a completely different Delia! Not sure how I like it tbh, she seem a little too try- hardy and the acting isn’t flowing out as naturally as it does on Leslie. Who’s to say though, this isn’t the full show so maybe I’ll have a different opinion if I saw her in the full show. She has a really nice voice tho, and I from what I’ve seen she makes an amazing Barbra!

[@catherinevirginia947]

Jack Buttafuoco she’s not even the main understudy, they switched it up, the main understudy for Delia sang fright of their lives as Barbra even tho this woman is the main Barbra understudy.

She’s got this obnoxious mom thing going on and I kinda like it but idk. It’s different than the original Lydia.

[@athing8846]

B E Delia is literally an obnoxious “mom”

[@WTKB82]

A Person well I mean, Delia is kinda (in the musical) this earthy hippie spiritualist. The kind who buys crystals and probably doesn’t vaccinate her kids. This lady doesn’t play Delia like that. She plays her more like the kind of mom who would want to talk to the school principal if her child got a B in math class. Idk. It’s hard to explain.

What was so sad was in the backround the guy playing drums had someone turing the page but the guy turning the page couldn’t turn the page in time and couldn’t turn the page it looked so sad 😂

[@byletheisner2160]

I think that Delia is just trying to help Lydia, because she says things like "your husband and his wife fled to rome.." and, "and you have to get a cat meow, because that's your last chance to have a family" I think that actually happened to Delia. She only wants to help Lydia, but Lydia won't let her. She wants to prevwnt her past with her first husband from happening to Lydia. She can see that Lydia is hurting deep inside, altthough she doesn't give Lydia the time to properly mourn the death of her mother, Emily, she is still trying her best to be a good mother figure for Lydia. Personally, I loce these little hidden facts about Delia. It's a little hidden insight into her life and her past and why she acts this way. It's why she belives that "Everything, everything happens for a reason" She is trying her best to be a good stepmother to a mourning Lydia. And although by the end of the musical Lydia has made peace with Charles, her father and has accepted the fact that Emily is not coming back, she starts to act like the sweet, kind-hearted, strange and unusal teenage girl she truly is at heart and even somewhat lovingly welcomes Delia into her family as her stepmother. So there is character growth and Delia is starting to allow herslf to give Lydia that much needed time to mourn, and she doesn't seem bothered or disgusted when Lydia mentions her dead mom. Instead she simply allows herslef to try and help Lydia through her mourning process to allow her to be the strange and unusual girl she is.
