Charli D’Amelio is about to make Broadway TikTok!
Yes, you heard it right. The 20-year-old queen of TikTok dances and viral trends is pirouetting her way onto the Broadway stage. In a plot twist no one saw coming, Charli is trading her ring light for stage lights and diving headfirst into the ensemble of the musical & Juliet. That’s right—Broadway’s about to get a lot more “Renegade.”
The big news dropped on Monday (September 30), and honestly, the internet has been doing cartwheels ever since (TikTok dances are just too mainstream now). Charli will be performing as ‘Charmian’ (cue the Shakespearean confusion), starting on October 29 at the Sondheim Theatre (fancy, right? 124 West 43rd Street—write that down). But before you start setting up camp outside the theater, here’s the catch: She’ll only be charming Broadway audiences until January 19, 2025. So get those tickets before they vanish faster than your attention span during a three-minute TikTok video.
Charli, who has officially won the hearts of Gen Z and musical theater nerds everywhere, couldn’t be more excited. “I’m beyond excited to join the Broadway community—it’s a dream I’ve had since I was a little girl,” she gushed in a statement. And honestly, who hasn’t dreamt of conquering both Broadway and TikTok? Some of us can barely handle emails.
“I can’t wait to share this experience with everyone,” Charli added, probably doing an impromptu pirouette in her kitchen as she said it. And, well, we can’t wait either. The anticipation is more intense than a TikTok dance challenge at 3 a.m.
But wait, there’s more! (Because there always is). Other casting news for the third year of & Juliet is still under wraps, so keep your eyes peeled. It’s Broadway, people—there’s always drama. And if you’re thinking of grabbing tickets, click here and prepare your bank account for impact.
Broadway is about to get a whole lot trendier—and probably a little more dance-heavy. So, who’s ready for Charli D’Amelio to turn Broadway into one giant, live TikTok feed? We are!
