The sun was out, the flags were flying, and the TikTok theatre scene provided all the fun for Pride month! These are the clips we couldn’t help double tapping in June.
The internet is for… Pride anthems
Nothing says Pride month quite like a trip down Avenue Q! We’re throwing it back to the West End cast performing the ultimate anthem of allyship “If You Were Gay”.
@whatsonstage HEY! GUESS WHAT!!! To celebrate Pride Month, a brand new exclusive clip of “If You Were Gay” from Avenue Q has just been released! #AvenueQ #Musical #Theatre #WestEnd
A weekend of non-stop show tunes
West End Live flooded our timelines with a mass of performances from fan-favourite classics to new musicals. Paddington The Musical and Dirty Dancing were the breakout hits of the weekend, but you can head to our TikTok page for more highlights!

The Satisfied surge
Renée Elise Goldsberry dropped a new music video for “Satisfied” and TikTok immediately snapped up her iconic delivery of “My name is Angelica Schuyler.”

The audio quickly became a massive trend, featuring everyone from fans to Nick Jonas, and even Renee herself joining in on the fun!

If you’re going to announce you’re performing at the Tony Awards, you might as well do it while ruling the stage! Dylan Mulvaney did exactly that, dropping the exciting news mid-show at Six.

History has its eyes on… Kermit!
We didn’t know we needed Kermit the Frog performing the opening number from Hamilton until it crossed our feed. A ribbit-ing success!
