Biography.

Born and raised in a small town near Liverpool England, Bethany grew up surrounded by great northern music, Sunday roasts and her beautiful family. Always encouraged to follow her dreams no matter where it takes her, she left home at 18 to train in top theatre schools in London and Barcelona, graduating from London School of Musical Theatre.

After sailing the seas for a year as ‘Annette’ in Royal Caribbean’s Saturday Night Fever, Covid hit HARD. Days in the garden and at home workouts became the new norm for a while back in the good ol’ North of England. A successful self tape during the height of Covid offered Bethany her Off-Broadway principal debut in original musical, Mike & Mindy’s Wild Weekend Jam. After 15 months of working to get her O1 visa, it was granted just 48 hours before she was due to fly to the States to start rehearsals. She packed up her (many) cases and moved across the pond to pursue her dreams in 2021. Originating a role has always been a huge dream for Bethany, and doing it under producing mentorship of two-time Tony Award Winning Broadway Producer, Ken Davenport, and singing an original soundtrack written by the legendary Righteous Brothers music team topped all of her expectations.

Since moving to New York, Bethany has fallen completely in love with the city and its people. She went on to originate her second Off-Broadway musical as leading lady Frances Farmer in Brilliance at The Players Theatre, with a brand new score written by Lance & Kristan Lewman. Her voice can be heard as the leading lady on both original cast albums for Mike & Mindy’s Wild Weekend Jam and Brilliance, recorded at FatBack studios in Nashville, Tennesse and Lounge Studios in Manhattan.

Bethany joined the Queendom and was cast as a Queen Alternate in the worldwide phenomenon SIX: The Musical onboard NCL’s Norwegian Bliss, covering Seymour, Cleves and Parr and acting as Dance Captain.
