Off-Broadway's viral dance show 11 to Midnight, choreographed and starring TikTok stars Austin and Marideth Telenko (aka Cost n' Mayor), officially opened at the Orpheum Theatre February 11, and critics are sounding off. See what they had to say about the new show, continuing in an extended run through April 19, below.

The work 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.
