Fans are buzzing over Leslie Odom Jr.’s return to Hamilton on Broadway and his castmates are in hot pursuit, dragging him into hilarious TikTok hijinks.
@jiselsayon Just don’t get greedy y’all lol @Leslie Odom Jr. @Hamilton #hamiltonmusical #broadway #actor #musicaltheatre
The Broadway star isn’t just dominating the stage, he’s also bringing soulful vibes to the kitchen. His performance of “Wait For It” alongside duo Counter-Melodies, has TikTokers stopping their scrolls and hitting repeat.

♬ The Sound of Music featuring Julie Andrews – Rodgers & Hammerstein
The 60th anniversary screenings of the Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II classic has audiences singing, dancing, and Do-Re-Mi-ing all over the cinema aisles. Fans in costume made sure the hills were alive… with everyone’s inner von Trapp running wild.

A royal welcome to the Six queen herself, bringing her charm straight to your For You page! She’s jumping into the viral “You Better Be Nice” trend with Remember Monday star Holly-Anne Hull and Samantha Barks giving her the ultimate introduction.
During the pandemic, online personality Austyn Farrell famously ran down his street as Tina Turner, lip-syncing “Proud Mary” for neighbours. Ahead of Tina: The Tina Turner Musical closing earlier this month, he appeared with Karis Anderson, who played Tina at the Aldwych Theatre, bringing that full-circle magic to the stage.
@austyn_farrell PART 1 1 When Temu Turner met Tina Turner… This was actually a huge moment for me, a huge 360 turn! This song has changed my life and I mean it! If you’re an OG you will remember this was my first lip-sync on my street back in 2020 that went viral! The Obamas shared it, Jennifer Aniston, Oprah Winfrey, Dolly Parton alongside so many others shared this video. At this point in my life I had never worn heels, wigs, dresses, anything that would make me look feminine on social media, I wanted to come across as a lad as in my profession of dancing we had to look certain ways on our profiles, so for me this felt like I was coming out…again lol. The love and energy I received from doing it made me feel comfortable in my skin, it didn’t make me feel embarrassed or ashamed of having fun. If I had not done that video I truly don’t know if I would have changed careers into being a content creator. This video alone got me 250,000 followers in the space of a week, it was mental! So….being a huge fan of Tina’s music and falling in love with watching @tinathemusical on the West End (4 times ha) words can not describe how it felt to do this next to the one and only @Karis Anderson on the Aldwych Theatre stage with 2 fantastic dancers in the show Annell Odartey and Clio Tamai. I first saw Karis perform as Tina with my mum around a year ago and words do not comprehend how talented this woman is, I never got to see Tina live but I truly felt like I was watching her live on stage! Karis as herself is such a beautiful human, with the warmest heart. You know when you just click and feel safe! She made me feel so welcome and ready for the day so thank you and also thank you to the lights, costume, screens, the full production while getting to dance my heart off doing the amazing choreography, guided by the show’s Resident Choreographer Renée Ocran. Hand on heart, one of the best things I’ve ever done so thank you @The Tina Turner Musical for having me and thank you for bringing me so much joy…. You are SIMPLY THE BEST The last show of Tina: The Musical West End will be Saturday September 13th so get your tickets now Directed by yours truly! Resident Choreographer for @tinathemusical : Renée Ocran Videographer : the incredible @INTRALUX | Creative Agency for capturing and bringing my vision to life
The Heathers New York cast took their street cred to the next level – literally. Spotted in the middle of a crosswalk, the trio fully embraced their inner traffic lights, standing tall as red, yellow, and green!
@mckenziekurtz13 The traffic light on your way to work when you’re already running late @heathers_musical @Elizabeth @Oh-Livia #fyp #FYP #heathersthemusical #heathersoffbroadway #broadwaytiktok #musicaltheatre #heatherchandler #mckenziekurtz
And the fun didn’t stop there. Last month Hamilton fans were sneaking out… but this month Heathers fans are sneaking in! Together, they’ve recreated the viral trend with Veronica creeping in full costume to “Dead Girl Walking.”

The children’s cast of 13 Going On 30: The Musical brought all the energy to rehearsal, performing the opening number “Wanna Be” like absolute pros. With nine million views and counting, it’s clear these future stars know how to own the stage.

One TikToker’s karaoke spotlight took an unexpected turn when the bouncer jumped in mid-Phantom of the Opera. The result? A duet so good it deserved a standing ovation.
