Dancer and Social Media superstar Charli D’Amelio will make her Broadway debut this fall, joining the company of the hit Broadway musical & Juliet, producers announced today. D’Amelio, who spent more than a decade as a competitive dancer before launching her social media career and becoming the world’s most followed TikToker, begins performances as part of the ensemble in the dance-heavy role of ‘Charmian’ beginning October 29, 2024 at the Sondheim Theatre (124 West 43rd Street) for a limited three-month engagement through January 19, 2025.
“I’m beyond excited to join the Broadway community—it’s a dream I’ve had since I was a little girl,” D’Amelio said. “To be able to make my Broadway debut – especially in the cast of & Juliet, is truly a dream come true, and I can’t wait to share this experience with everyone.”
Additional casting for the third year of & Juliet will be announced shortly.
& Juliet flips the script on the greatest love story ever told, imagining what would happen next if Juliet hadn’t ended it all over Romeo, and got a second chance at life and love – on her terms. Juliet’s new story bursts to life through a playlist of pop anthems as iconic as her name. Nominated for 9 Tony Awards including Best Musical, & Juliet is created by the Emmy-winning writer from “Schitt’s Creek” and features an iconic playlist of Pop hits, including “Since U Been Gone,” “Roar,” “I Want It That Way,” “Confident,” and more.
This month, the first North American tour of & Juliet kicked off its route in Baltimore, Maryland, and will stop in more than 30 US cities in the next year. The North American tour joins the UK Tour (which began in July 2024), and an upcoming German production (October 2024).
