Australian pop star Betty Who, is currently starring as Persephone in Broadway's Hadestown. And it looks like the entire company has Betty Who fever! See the "Somebody Loves You" singer perform her 2016 hit cover of "I Love You Always Forever" with the cast of Hadestown outside the Walter Kerr Theatre following the September 17 performance above.

Directed by Rachel Chavkin, Hadestown currently also stars original cast member and Grammy winner Reeve Carney as Orpheus, Solea Pfeiffer as Eurydice, and Tony winner Lillias White as Hermes.

Musical supervision and vocal arrangements are by Liam Robinson, with arrangements and orchestrations by Tony winners Michael Chorney and Todd Sickafoose.
