Charli D’Amelio Makes Broadway Debut in & Juliet, Extended Through 2025

Charli D’Amelio, known for her viral presence on TikTok, has made her Broadway debut in the musical & Juliet, which started its run in October 2024. Initially scheduled to conclude her role as Charmian in January 2025, her performance has been extended twice due to popular demand.

In a statement released in September 2024, D’Amelio expressed her excitement: “I’m beyond excited to join the Broadway community—it’s a dream I’ve had since I was a little girl. 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.”

This marks D’Amelio’s first experience on a Broadway stage, where she plays a dance-heavy role as a member of William Shakespeare’s Company of Players. Despite being a newcomer to Broadway, her background in dance has made the transition feel natural. “Dance was always very special to me,” she told ABC7 in November 2024. “I used dance as a way to communicate in a way I can’t always do with my words.”

Reflecting on her journey, D’Amelio spoke about the challenges of entering such a prestigious environment. “I spent so much of my time growing up, never thinking that I would get to be in a room like this, and always doubting myself,” D’Amelio, who won her season of Dancing With the Stars, admitted. “I’m just so thankful for everyone that helped get me here, and for my mom. She was driving me to dance classes. She was driving me to dance competitions. Just kept reminding me that I could get somewhere with dance even when I doubted myself.”
