Where Is 'The Middle' Cast Today? What the Heck Family and Their Co-Stars Are Doing Now
Stepping away from Sue Heck required conscious reinvention. Eden Sher initially voiced the dimension-hopping Star Butterfly on Disney XD's animated hit Star vs. the Forces of Evil, which wrapped in 2019. She took recurring television guest spots, including appearances on Jane the Virgin and Superstore, but her most consequential creative leap arrived in the theater.
In 2023, Sher debuted her one-woman stage show, I Was Made for This, taking it through the Edinburgh Festival Fringe before launching runs in Los Angeles and New York. The production explored her journey into motherhood, including the birth of her twins with husband Nick Cron-DeVico in 2021, severe postpartum depression, and the disorienting psychological transition of playing an eternal teenager on prime-time television for nearly a decade. Instead of running from Sue Heck, Sher used her stand-up and stage storytelling to examine how living in an optimistic character's skin influenced her real adulthood.
