Charli D’Amelio’s Broadway Dream Extended: Get Ready for More ‘& Juliet!’
Guess what, folks? Charli D’Amelio is not ready to say “ta-ta” to Broadway just yet! That’s right, the TikTok queen confirmed during her appearance on *Today with Jenna & Friends* that she’s extending her fabulous run in the hit musical *& Juliet* at the Stephen Sondheim Theatre until September 7. I mean, didn’t we all see this coming? Charli has been living her best life on stage, and who wouldn’t want to keep that magic going? “Performing in *& Juliet* has truly been a career highlight for me,” she gushed in a recent press release, revealing just how much joy the role has brought her. Honestly, it sounds like pure Broadway bliss!
For those not in the know, *& Juliet* is a playful reimagining of the classic Shakespearean tale, where our gal Juliet gets a second shot at love—and let’s be real, a whole lot more fun than that tragic end we all remember. Charli, who was dancing competitively long before she became a social media sensation, takes on the role of ‘Charmian,’ bringing that high-energy choreography to life alongside a talented ensemble that includes none other than NSYNC’s Joey Fatone.
Charli’s enthusiasm is infectious, and she’s been soaking up every moment of this incredible opportunity. She explained that being away from family while living alone in New York has been quite an adjustment, especially when it comes to cooking. “I wish my mom could make me some food,” she lamented, before saying it’s mostly takeout during this whirlwind adventure. Can you blame her? Between rehearsals and performances, who has the time to whip up a meal?
But let’s not underestimate the challenges that come with joining such a big production. Charli has had to tackle singing in an ensemble—a far cry from her usual dance-centric performances. What’s refreshing, though, is that she values feedback from creatives more than the critics. “There are so many strong and powerful messages throughout the show that I just hope people leave feeling so refreshed and excited,” she remarked.
With ticket sales already booming, fans can snag their spot to watch Charli shine on stage. So if you’ve been on the fence, now’s your chance to see what all the buzz is about! Broadway just got a little more exciting, and we can’t wait to watch Charli own it until September.
