Broadway on TikTok?

I've been semi-fascinated by reading about and watching some of the cute Beetlejuice videos on TikTok. (I do wonder if they can actually attribute any ticket sales to it though?) 

Are there any other fun Broadway shows or fans doing things on there worth checking out?

Beetlejuice definitely has the biggest fan base and actual Broadway cast participation. But, Ive seen lots of other sound bites. Heathers, Mean Girls, Waitress and SIX all have a big fan presence on TIKTOK. It's kinda awesome. Plus it's loaded with Theater kids doing their thing. I love it.

I wholeheartedly believe that TikTok was the swift kick in the butt for Beetlejuice to update their marketing and is a main factor to their new successes. Say My Name became so popular on there and brought a whole new audience to the show and they figured out how to advertise it. 
 

There was an article written about it but I can’t find it right now, if I can, I’ll link it here. But that popularity and even Presley’s own TikTok account inclined people to it. I catch my sister, who’s 14, singing What I Know Now even though she ‘hates theatre’. Kids at my school who made fun of me for theatre, mind you, are screaming the lyrics to Say My Name.

 

I was expecting a swift closure after the Tonys but, ironically, it brought this show back from the dead.
