Charli D’Amelio “incredibly excited” to make Broadway debut in ‘& Juliet’

As a gamer with a penchant for musical theater, I must say that Charli D’Amelio‘s Broadway debut comes as a delightful surprise. While she initially made a name for herself on TikTok, her journey from dance videos to the grand stage of New York City is truly inspiring. It seems like she’s not just jumping over hurdles, but leaping tall buildings in a single bound!


From a modest start on TikTok, Charlie D’Amelio will transition to the grand stage of Broadway by October.

On September 30th, it became known that Charli D’Amelio is set to make her first appearance on Broadway in the show & Juliet. This TikTok sensation, who rose to fame by sharing popular dance clips, will take on the character Charmian, a part with a significant focus on dance within the musical jukebox production.

Unlike Romeo and Juliet, where a tragic romance unfolded due to their untimely deaths, & Juliet explores an alternate storyline by imagining what could have transpired had Juliet not taken her own life after Romeo’s demise.

Starting from October 29, 2024, our musical production will take center stage at the Sondheim Theatre in New York City and will run until January 19, 2025.

Following the announcement of her role, D’Amelio, aged 20, expressed her joy about being part of the Broadway cast. “I’m absolutely thrilled to let you know that I’ll be performing with the cast of & Juliet on Broadway!” she shared on Instagram.

Since I was a young child, this has been the pinnacle of my dreams, something that seemed so distant and unattainable. Yet here I stand, embarking on an incredible new phase of my life, savoring each precious moment.

I’m truly at a loss for words to express how meaningful this is to me. I owe a heartfelt debt of gratitude to everyone who has stood by me throughout my journey; without your support, I wouldn’t be where I am today. A massive thank you to the entire team behind & Juliet for giving me the opportunity to be part of such an extraordinary production. From the bottom of my heart, I express my deepest thanks.

After learning about Charli D’Amelio’s Broadway performance, supporters flocked to various platforms to cheer on her upcoming stage debut.

She’s set to demonstrate her dancing and acting skills, worthy of any Broadway star, as she transitions from TikTok to the live stage!” said one excitedly.

“From TikTok to a Broadway debut? Now that’s a Queen,” said another.

One fan even noted how happy they were to see social media personalities like D’Amelio and pop artist Addison Rae evolve past their influencer eras.

In the realm of its soundtrack, I’m thrilled to share that & Juliet will be infused with contemporary tunes from my favorite artists. You can expect reminiscences of Kelly Clarkson’s ‘Since U Been Gone,’ Britney Spears’ ‘I’m Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman,’ and ‘Overprotected,’ Katy Perry’s ‘Roar,’ Backstreet Boys’ ‘I Want It That Way,’ and Demi Lovato’s ‘Confident.’ These tracks will undoubtedly add an exciting, modern twist to the musical!

Luckily for me, I managed to clinch the title in Season 31 of Dancing with the Stars. This stage performance experience should make it a breeze for me to step right into my upcoming roles as a gamer.
