“Many dance celebrities are taking advantage of the time at home by offering live-streamed classes, many of which are free. And if you've never danced before, or if you've hesitated from taking classes because you're self-conscious when surrounded by a group of 20+ people, this online at home approach could be the perfect opportunity to try out something new. “

“And for everyone else, we were given a gift last night, a beautiful reminder that theater and Broadway are not gone; the ghost light stays on for us all.”

“There are tons of TikTok accounts dedicated to musical theater already, whether because users are creating theater-themed sounds following the “put a finger down” game trend for people to use, or they’re participating in riff challenges inspired by Christina Aguilera’s iconic one in Burlesque.”

“Now more than ever, we need our community to come together and to be the biggest theatre troupe ever created.”
