Five Female Betrayals That Rocked Broadway Stages

This summer Shakespeare’s classic story of betrayal, Julius Caesar, gets a fresh, new spin in a production set in an all-female high school. The play runs June 21-July 8 at off-Broadway Access Theater Gallery Space and stars Alyssa May Gold as Brutus and Déa Julien as Julius Caesar.


Getting us in the betrayal state of mind, here are five female-on-female betrayals that rocked Broadway.

Madame Morrible/Elphaba in Wicked

Morrible starts out all innocent but soon she goes from mentor to manipulator and Elphie pays the ultimate price.

Veronica/Heather Chandler in Heathers


Veronica begins as just another one of Heather Chandler's many minions but then betrayal leads to murder.

Sonya/Natasha in The Great Comet

Sonya gets jealous and worried for her favorite cousin and betrays her trust, destroys her runaway wedding, and leads to Natasha's ruin.

Roxie/Velma Chicago

Roxie Hart steals Velma Kelly's entire courtroom shtick, her lawyer, and her trial date...but somehow they still manage to work together in the end.

The Dreams/Effie White Dreamgirls


Effie White is pushed out of the dreams without so much as a warning from her sisters in soul, Deena and Lorell. Hell, those two even rehearsed with her replacement, Michelle, behind her back. That's shade.

Don't miss 'Julius Caesar' at off-Broadway Access Theater Gallery Space.
