She made her Broadway debut in 2012 in Mary Poppins and later played young Elizabeth II in The Audience and Betty Parris in the 2016 revival of The Crucible. Additionally, Teeter starred in the Off-Broadway musical The Secret Life of Bees. From 2022 to 2023, Teeter gained wider recognition for portraying Lydia Deetz in Beetlejuice on Broadway.

Life and career

Elizabeth Teeter was born in 2001 or 2002.[1] Her father, Lara Teeter, is an actor and theatre teacher, while her mother is a dancer and dance teacher. Elizabeth has a twin brother and two younger sisters. As a child, she moved from Chicago to Winchester, Virginia, and later St. Louis. The family lived in Webster Groves, Missouri, where the children attended Bristol Elementary School.[2]

Teeter studied ballet and was coached by her father in acting, singing and tap dance. She began acting at The Muny at age seven,[2] beginning with a 2009 production of Meet Me in St. Louis.[3] In 2011, she performed alongside her father in The Little Mermaid. Additionally, she acted in plays at the Opera Theatre of Saint Louis, the Repertory Theatre of St. Louis, and the New Jewish Theatre. In mid-2012, Teeter was cast in Mary Poppins on Broadway. Her family moved to an apartment in New York from July 2012 to May 2013, during which the children were homeschooled.[2] From August 2012 to March 2013, Teeter alternated with Carly Paige Baron and Maya Jade Frank in the role of Jane Banks.[4][5] In 2015 and 2016, Teeter played young Elizabeth II in The Audience, sharing the role with Sadie Sink,[6][7] and Betty Parris in The Crucible, directed by Ivo van Hove, respectively.[8] In a review of the former, Variety said she portrayed the character "very nicely".[9]

Teeter next starred as Lily Owens in the Off-Broadway musical The Secret Life of Bees (2019), based on the film of the same name.[10] She left high school as a result and completed her schoolwork at the beginning and end of rehearsals.[11] Teeter's performance received positive reviews;[12][13][14] the Financial Times described her as the show's "main saving grace", praising her "touchingly nervous yet not without pluck" portrayal of Lily and chemistry with co-star Brett Gray.[15] After graduating high school, Teeter intended to move to New York to attend auditions and classes during a gap semester.[11] In March 2020, Teeter was cast as Lydia Deetz in Beetlejuice. She attended rehearsals for three days before Broadway theatres closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[16] The team contacted her two years later and invited her to reaudition.[1] After booking the role again, Teeter worked with the rest of the cast to do table work, discuss characters, work on the screenplay, and contribute new ideas.[16] The production reopened in April 2022 and closed in January 2023.[17][18]
