If anybody has opened the clock app recently, they’ll probably have been met with creators wearing drawn on moustaches, USB leads as head mics, and a blue blazer.
The latest trend sweeping the internet is seeing hilarious reenactments of Hamilton scenes – mostly Eliza and Alexander’s “Best of Wives and Best of Women” – but online, Alexander is sneaking out the window. For context, here’s the original (and most-liked) take:
@sydwingold Alexander come back to sleep 🥺
♬ Best of Wives and Best of Women – Phillipa Soo & Lin-Manuel Miranda
With that in mind, we’ve scoured TikTok (it’s a tough job, but somebody’s got to do it) to find our very favourite examples of theatre accounts hopping on trends!
Death Becomes Her meets Hamilton
@deathbecomesbway You can’t? I can’t. You CAN’T?? #hamilten #hamilton #hamiltontiktok #linmanuelmiranda #jennifersimard #christophersieber #deathbecomesher #broadway @Jennifer Simard
How can Ernest say no to this? To prove how far this trend has reached – here’s the Savannah Bananas baseball team doing it on the pitch.
@thesavbananas Meet the new cast of Hamilton😌 @Flash Tha Kid @Alex Ziegler #hamilton #broadway #savannahbananas #bananaball
You better be nice to Dougal (and Andy)
@twostrangersmusical This is Dougal. It’s his first time in NYC. YOU BETTER BE NICE! #Broadway #theatretok #twostrangers #newmusical #musicaltheatre
We love to see slightly awkward, nervous people explaining their niche hobbies and interests. This time, it’s Dougal from Two Strangers (Carry A Cake Across New York), but luckily Robin has his back. Sam Tutty and Christiani Pitts are taking the hit show to New Yoooooork!
@thatluciejones YOU BETTER BE NICE 👊🏼🙂 #andyfickman #13goingon30 #13goingon30themusical
Lucie Jones also introduced a little-known, first-time director, Andy Flickman, as rehearsals started for the new musical, 13 Going On 30.
SixK gold Labubu
@billiekerr I cannot tell you what it took for me to not burst out laughing during this 😭 @yna tresvalles 💌 #sixthemusical #labubu
“Don’t Lose Ur Head” but Six star, Billie Kerr is the 24k gold Labubu, according to Yna Tresvalles! Queen behaviour.
It’s really nice to meet you!
PinkPantheress’ catchy tune is the perfect way to be introduced to Lin-Manuel Miranda‘s new waxwork model. He is “Non-stop” hopping on TikTok trends at the moment!
@hamiltonmusical His name is Lin, and he’s really glad to meet you. #Hamilton #Broadway #Musical #Theatre #MadameTussauds
Smile if you don’t want The Great Gatsby to leave London
@amber_davies7 Well she passed with flying colours… @Rachel Tucker #jordanbaker #myrtlewilson #gatsbylondon #greatgatsby
Amber Davies and Rachel Tucker‘s friendship is one we didn’t know we all needed in our lives, but this summer at the London Coliseum has proven that we definitely did. The two often make TikTok content backstage, and the recent one captures all our emotions as the show enters its final few weeks.
Nicki Minaj sets sail
You’ve heard of the ice bucket challenge, but how about the Nicki Minaj leg pose challenge? The concept seems easy, but it requires a lot of natural talent to look good doing it. Luckily, Titanique’s Caitlin Tipping and The Great Gatsby’s Jamel Matthias know how it’s done.

Make a change (for the better!)
Here’s a wholesome one to add to our list, as creators take the words of Michael Jackson’s “Man in the Mirror” and show the greatest change they’ve made that has led to a great achievement – like performing in Tina: The Tina Turner Musical!
@sherineandkeilah It’s mad to think about her progress! ✨ Keilah is living her dream as a theatre kid – she’s growing as a performer and loves sharing her journey! Go FundMe link is in the bio if you’d like to help towards Keilah’s theatre school fees 🙏🏾 #theatrekid #change #performer #tina #fyp
