The upcoming Off-Broadway debut of viral TikTok dance duo Cost n' Mayor (Austin and Marideth Telenko) is weeks away from starting, but has already extended its run for an additional seven weeks. Performances, set to begin January 28 ahead of a February 11 opening at the Orpheum Theatre, will now continue through April 19. The production had initially been scheduled to play just a five-week run.
Tickets are on sale at 11toMidnight.com. In-person sales will begin at the Orpheum Theatre box office January 19.
The work will be 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 will feature "theatrical street-style dance and a genre-hopping soundtrack," featuring music by Jacob Aviner, Spencer Novich, and Steve Toulmin, according to press notes. The performance, which will be choreographed by the Telenkos and directed by Lyndsay Magid Aviner, features a company of dancers discovered online.
The company will be led by the Telenkos themselves, sharing the stage with Brendon Chan, Kati Simon, Ache Richardson, Makenzie Olsen, and Tyson Hill. Swings Kristalyn Gill and Jake Urban will round out the company. The company 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 will feature 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.
