Charli D’Amelio, who first gained fame on TikTok, took her talents to the Dancing With the Stars stage in 2022. She then transitioned to Broadway, making her debut in October 2024 in the musical & Juliet.
Originally scheduled to conclude her role as Charmian in January 2025, D’Amelio’s performance was so well-received that her stint was extended twice.
“Joining the Broadway community is beyond exciting for me—it’s been a dream since childhood,” D’Amelio expressed in a September 2024 statement, anticipating her nearly year-long engagement. “Debuting on Broadway, especially in & Juliet, is a dream come true, and I’m eager to share this moment with everyone.”
Though this was her first time gracing a Broadway stage, playing a dance-intensive role as a member of William Shakespeare’s Company of Players felt like a natural progression given her dance background.
“Dance has always held a special place in my heart,” she shared with ABC7 in November. “It’s a way for me to express myself when words fall short.”
Though, it was still hard to grapple with such a prestigious honor.
“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,” Charli—who also won her season of DWTS—said. “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.”
