Charli D’Amelio is headed to Broadway!

The world’s most followed TikToker and Dancing with the Stars champion is joining the cast of & Juliet, the Tony-nominated musical now playing at the Stephen Sondheim Theatre in New York City.

"I’m beyond excited to join the Broadway community — it’s a dream I’ve had since I was a little girl," D’Amelio said in a statement. "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."

D’Amelio, who spent more than a decade as a competitive dancer before launching her social media career, begins performances as part of the ensemble in the dance-heavy role of ‘Charmian’ beginning Oct. 29.

Her limited run in the musical wraps Jan. 19, 2025.

& Juliet flips the script on the tragic love story of William Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet, imagining a Juliet who gets a second chance at life and love on her terms.

The book comes from David West Read, the Emmy-winning scribe from Schitt's Creek.

All of the musical's songs come 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," Bon Jovi's "It's My Life" and Katy Perry's "Roar."

Theatergoers can also hear music like "Confident" (Demi Lovato), "That's the Way It Is" (Céline Dion), "Can't Stop the Feeling" (Justin Timberlake), "Domino" (Jessie J), "Show Me Love" (Robyn), "Blow" (Kesha), F---in' Perfect" (Pink), "Whataya Want From Me" (Adam Lambert), "Can't Feel My Face" (The Weeknd), "Love Me Like You Do" (Ellie Goulding), "Problem" (Ariana Grande) and "It's Gonna Be Me" (*NSYNC).

There's also a slew of songs made famous by the Backstreet Boys — "Larger Than Life," "Show Me the Meaning of Being Lonely," "As Long as You Love Me," "Everybody (Backstreet's Back)" and "I Want It That Way" — as well as other tunes by Spears ("I'm Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman," "Overprotected," "Oops!… I Did It Again" and "Stronger") and Perry ("Teenage Dream," "I Kissed a Girl").
