BROADWAY WORLD | How Millicent Simmonds Prepared to Play a Ballet Dancer in Pretty Lethal
Apr 23, 2026
Millicent Simmonds, the performer known for her role in Broadway's Grey House and the Quiet Place franchise, turned to the world of dance for her role in the new movie Pretty Lethal.
Simmonds is deaf, and in an interview with ABC4 Utah, Ballet West Academy Director Evelyn Cineros-Legate shared how she worked with the actress on her movement. "I would tap out rhythms on the barre with my ring so that she could feel the rhythm of the music to then integrate the movements of the arms with the legs and the feet... It was really amazing."
