Musical Theater TikTok, Free Britney, @zzzachariah, @womanship

Get recaps and extras from episode two of the 2 Old 4 TikTok podcast where we cover Musical Theater TikTok, Free Britney, and more.

What is Musical Theater TikTok?

Musical Theater TikTok is a side of TikTok where broadway stars and theater kids alike show off their talents. From singing straight to the camera to posting old clips from school plays to auditioning for the next big part, this side of TikTok meshes traditional theater with new media.

Andrew Lloyd Webber and his “private office” (whatever that means) have made it to TikTok.


Dewey’s Piano Party uses duet in the literal sense. It satisfies all our cravings for musical theater.

Alexa Chalnick hosts TikTok-wide casting calls. Here’s one of our favorites where the actual star of the national tour of Waitress answered the call.

What is #FreeBritney?

Free Britney is a movement spreading on social media where fans and colleagues expose the tragic story behind Britney Spears’ current situation.

For months, Britney has been posting videos and photos of her dancing, posing, and talking directly to fans through the camera. It was all a bit bizarre. But most people laughed it off, unaware of the dark backstory.

Recently, fans took to TikTok explaining her father’s conservatorship over her, her inability to act without permission, and her cries for help.

Britney’s former colleague, Andrew Gallery, created a TikTok specifically to post old letters from Britney and help give more context to the movement.

Our favorite TikToks this week:

@zzzachariah

Zachariah comments on everyday things with his own spin and a hilarious, Linda Belcher-esque voice.

His does a spot on impression of moms. And his obsession with Dunkin’ Donuts is the kind of guilty pleasure we can all relate to.

@womanship

Claire Manship has made the most of NYC’s quarantine by belting out songs from her apartment window.

Her performances are the kind of stuff you’d only see on Broadway. Now TikTok lets us all enjoy!
