YouTube star Trisha Paytas has announced that she’s making her Broadway debut this fall… but the internet is divided over the news.

The social media star and singer, 37, revealed that she’ll be joining the cast of Beetlejuice on Broadway for roughly three weeks next month.

She will star as Maxine Dean in the play from November 4 to November 23 at the Palace theater in New York City.

But the news has left Broadway fans split – with some taking to X, formerly Twitterto share their excitement and others fiercely slamming Paytas.

‘Giving an extremely problematic social media influencer who can’t even sing or act a role in a musical over an actual talented and hardworking actor for a cash grab is insanely disappointing and gross,’ scathed one user. ‘Seriously what is going on with Broadway casting right now?’

‘And you’re wondering why actors equity is about to go on strike? It’s because of s**t like this,’ another outraged person wrote.

‘So many of us work our butts off to get a degree in this, then we get up at the crack a** of dawn in hopes that we get seen only for the show to stunt cast instead.’

‘Yeah. Good idea. Ruin Beetlejuice,’ someone else sarcastically quipped.

‘Note to self: don’t see this show in those weeks,’ read a fourth tweet, while a fifth said, ‘Love or hate her, it’s undeserved.’

Others, however, sent Paytas words of encouragement.

‘I’m so proud of you,’ one excited fan wrote, while another penned, ‘This is actually perfect casting for Beetlejuice.’

‘Tickets are booked,’ announced another supporter.

Playbill.com described Paytas’ role as ‘minor’ since she’s only in one musical number.

Her character is the wife of Maxie Dean – the Chairman of Botco Industries who is invited for dinner by the Deetzes when Lydia enlists the Maitlands to haunt her family.

Paytas took to Instagram to share her excitement over the role on Friday.

‘Words can never express my gratitude in this very moment. How lucky am I?’ she gushed. ‘Beetlejuice the musical has been so near and dear to my heart.’

The star went on to say that Broadway and live theater ‘has always been her escape since she was a young girl.’

‘I so wanted to be a part of the stories with sequined costumes, catchy music and endings to everyone’s story perfectly wrapped in a bow,’ she continued.

‘I can’t wait to play. The talent in this show is unreal (I saw them on tour last year in OC), I know how lucky I am.

‘Thank you to those who have supported me throughout the years in my endeavors; I do hope I get to see a few of you at the shows.’

‘Beetlejuice the musical is so so special to me and completely honored to get to share in the experience together,’ she concluded, before ending with the famous line from the play: ‘It’s showtime!’

Paytas launched her YouTube channel back in 2007, and by 2015, she was a huge internet star with her vlogs and mukbang videos raking in millions of views.

Over the years she has also dabbled in acting as well as music, releasing a slew of singles and EPs over the years.

Flash forward to now, and she recently wrapped up her first US tour and is the host of the wildly popular Just Trish Podcast.

In addition, she revealed on her podcast this week that she’s going to appear in season three of Euphoria, but did not share any other details on the role.

But over the years, the internet personality has found herself in hot water on numerous occasions thanks to some questionable comments she’s made.

The mom-of-three told Elle in January, ‘I feel like I’m always going to just keep going forward, and that’s all I can do. I’m just happy to keep going.’

She was previously slammed for saying she identified as a chicken nugget and for coming out as a transgender man before taking it back.
