Off-Broadway's viral dance show 11 to Midnight, choreographed and starring TikTok stars Austin and Marideth Telenko (aka Cost n' Mayor), is getting a new viral star. The show officially opened at the Orpheum Theatre February 11, and is scheduled to continue its extended run through April 19.
And now, dancer and content creator Melissa Becraft will join the company beginning March 26. Becraft is a former dancer, captain, and choreographer with the NBA Brooklynettes, and has more than three million followers across TiKTok, Instagram, and YouTube.
11 to Midnight is set at a New Year's Eve apartment party in New York City, where seven friends are gathering to ring in the new year. The performance features "theatrical street-style dance and a genre-hopping soundtrack," with music by Jacob Aviner, Spencer Novich, and Steve Toulmin, according to press notes. The performance, directed by Lyndsay Magid Aviner, features a company of dancers all discovered online.
The company is led by the Telenkos, sharing the stage with Brendon Chan, Kati Simon, Ache Richardson, Makenzie Olsen, and Tyson Hill. Swings Kristalyn Gill and Jake Urban round out the cast. The artists joining the Telenkos were all selected via a months-long, international online casting process that saw more than 500 performers submitting videos for consideration.
The production also features scenic design by Arnell Sancianco, costume design by Barbara Erin Delo, lighting design by Jeff Croiter and Sean Beach, sound design by Ben Scheff, and special effects by Jeremy Chernick.
This is not Cost n' Mayor's first time dipping into stage work. Along with having amassed an online audience of more than 10 million on TikTok and Instagram, the couple choreographed Waitress at the Ogunquit Playhouse in 2024. Circus-dance-magic production company Hideaway Circus' previous works have included Canvas Sky, Stas Above, Beyond Babel, Reflex, and Slumber.
