Charli D’Amelio Makes Her Broadway Debut in & Juliet and Celebrates with Her Family by Her Side

Charli D’Amelio can officially add Broadway to her list of accomplishments.

On Tuesday, Oct. 29, the world’s most followed TikToker and Dancing with the Stars champion officially made her debut on the boards, completing her first performance in & Juliet.

The Tony-nominated musical — now playing at the Stephen Sondheim Theatre in New York City — flips the script on the tragic love story of William Shakespeare’s Romeo & Juliet, imagining what would happen if Juliet lived and got a second chance at life and love on her terms.

D’Amelio, who spent more than a decade as a competitive dancer before launching her social media career, is in the dance-heavy ensemble role of ‘Charmain.” Her limited run in the musical wraps Jan. 19, 2025.

Among the supporters in the audience cheering her on Tuesday night was mom Heidi D’Amelio, sister Dixie D’Amelio and dad Marc D’Amelio. The family, who starred in Hulu’s The D’Amelio Show for three seasons, all posed for photos together at a post-show celebration held at Italian eatery Parm. They even presented Marc with a cake for his upcoming birthday on Nov. 1.

For the event, Charli wore a unique little black strapless dress, designed with strips of fabric wrapped around a grey base.

It was one of a few looks Charli rocked Tuesday night. After her celebratory curtain call, she also posed in the house in a fashion-forward lilac dress. The garb featured a spaghetti-strap bandeau-style top with paneling on the front, a cape-length back and a coordinating mini skirt.

She later signed autographs in a brown suit jacket, greeting enthusiastic fans waiting for her John Hancock.

Charli wasn’t the only one making her debut on Tuesday night. Seven company members made their debuts: Gabe Amato, Reese Britts, Nicholas Cooper, Jhailyn Paige Farcon, Elsa Keefe, Alejandro MullerDahlberg and Darien Van Rensalier.

Veteran actors joining the cast Tuesday were Alison Luff, Cassie Silva, Liam Pearce,

All joined continuing cast members Maya Boyd, Drew Gehling, Jeannette Bayardelle, Paulo Szot, Michael Iván Carrier, Makai Hernandez, Daniel Assetta, Najah Hetsberger, Joomin Hwang, Khailah Johnson, Alaina Ví Maderal, Daniel J. Maldonado, Joe Moeller, Ava Noble and Romy Vuksan.

& Juliet began previews in October 2022, and opened to rave reviews the following month. Directed by Luke Sheppard, it’s the only new musical from the 2022-2023 season still running on Broadway.

The musical is penned by David West Read, the Emmy-winning scribe from Schitt’s Creek. Music comes from the catalogue of five-time Grammy-winning songwriter and producer Max Martin.

Those include Britney Spears’ “Baby One More Time,” Kelly Clarkson’s “Since U Been Gone,” Pink’s “F—in’ Perfect,” Bon Jovi’s “It’s My Life,” Katy Perry’s “Teenage Dream,” Demi Lovato “Confident,” Céline Dion’s “That’s the Way It Is,” Jessie J’s “Domino,” Ariana Grande’s “Problem,” *NSYNC’s “It’s Gonna Be Me” and Backstreet Boys’ “I Want It That Way” — among many, many others.

News that Charli was joining the cast of & Juliet was announced back in September.

“I’m beyond excited to join the Broadway community — it’s a dream I’ve had since I was a little girl,” she said in a statement at the time. “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.”

Tickets for & Juliet are now on sale.
