BroadwayEvolved was created and founded by Tony Nominated Broadway star Betsy Wolfe and education professional Cynthia Rose.
Having both been raised by teachers, heavily influenced by our arts teachers, and also currently teaching on our own, we realized that we possessed the perfect combination of skills, artistry, and experiences to shatter the outdated models of professional preparation.
BETSY WOLFE
Betsy Wolfe is currently starring as Anne in the smash hit & Juliet on Broadway, a role for which she was nominated for the 2023 Tony Award for Best Featured Actress in a Musical. Recently she starred in the holiday film Estella Scrooge: A Christmas Carol with a Twist, can be seen in the indie feature First One In, and had a guest starring role on the CBS series Instinct. Wolfe performed her one woman cabaret show All Bets Are Off to sold out crowds in NYC, Las Vegas, San Francisco, New Orleans, and more.
Wolfe starred as Jenna Hunterson, the title role in the Tony nominated musical Waitress. Prior to that, played Cordelia, one of the lovable “lesbians from next door,” in the Broadway revival of Falsettos. She is perhaps best known for her critically acclaimed performance as Cathy in the off-Broadway revival of The Last Five Years. Wolfe’s other Broadway credits include Ellen in Bullets Over Broadway directed by Susan Stroman and Rosa Bud in The Mystery of Edwin Drood, and 110 in the Shade followed by Everyday Rapture. She also appeared as Beth in the Encores! production of Merrily We Roll Along. She starred in the La Jolla Playhouse world premiere production of Up Here, and created the role of Mary Ann Singleton in ACT's world premiere of Tales of the City.

She has performed with over 55 different symphony and pops orchestras including The Chicago Symphony, and recently returned from London having performed with the highly acclaimed BBC Orchestra. A daughter of two educators, while not performing she has always been passionate about young performer development. She has led masterclasses and workshops around the United States and has maintained a small group of voice students specializing in early stage belt development/correction.

While her professional career shifted away from music, she remained passionate about the arts and frequently utilized them as a tool for teaching complex leadership theory. As the Co-Founder of BroadwayEvolved, she has found the perfect combination of her personal passions and her professional expertise.
WHAT the PARENTS SAY
“I was so excited for my daughter to have this opportunity on a practical level. But when I realized that you are a nurturer at heart, and would lead the program that way, my excitement grew. She went into the week a poised and confident young performer who was nervous to meet the other artists and most certainly nervous to meet her heroes. She came out fully in bloom. You and the faculty made her feel secure in her gifts, but gave her critiques that could make her better. Despite the success of the faculty who came to teach and mentor them, she felt safe and willing to take chances. She never felt intimidated or undeserving. Thank you for enriching her life.”
“Magical, I think would be an appropriate term! You both ventured on a “journey” that was unprecedented, nurturing, insightful, educational, honest and beyond inspiring. I know I talk as if I were there....but this opinion is derived from every detail he told me after each day. His excitement was palpable. And I can clearly see what an amazing impact you have had on him. He told me yesterday that she has been forever changed in just four days! He also said that he has learned more in just four days than in his entire life.”
“It’s such a joy for a parent to watch their child live in their passion and be surrounded by people who are smart, who care, and who push her to be better because they believe in her potential.”
WHAT the STUDENTS SAY
“I learned about things that I didn’t know I didn’t know. I learned what it feels like to have a supportive group of people who only want you to succeed. I learned how to bring myself into my work. I learned to be honest when performing.”
“BroadwayEvolved was the most meaningful experience I ever had. What meant the most to me was how much I learned about how to be generous.”
“These four days were the best days of my life. I really mean that from the bottom of my heart, because I have never had this much learning and felt this much joy. and how to be kind, and how prepared I now feel. I remember thinking, multiple times, why are they making this impossible task sound so easy? I just realized though, no one was making achieving my dreams sound easy. In fact, everyone presented it as something that took grit and hard work and an overwhelming love of the craft. I didn’t realize before, but something inside of me flipped this week. Suddenly committing to this wasn’t scary or overwhelming, but rather something I felt completely prepared to do.”
