Video Step Inside Trisha Paytas’ Big Broadway Dream With Photos and Video

Influencer Paytas' made her one-night-only Broadway debut February 3 at the St. James Theatre.

Social media influencer Trisha Paytas's one-night-only event Trisha Paytas’ Big Broadway Dream played Broadway's St. James Theatre February 3, and Playbill has a first look at footage from the event.

The show, which featured Paytas alongside Tony winner Sutton Foster (Once Upon a Mattress), Tony winner Ben Platt (Parade), Joy Woods (Gypsy), and Golden Globe Award winner Rachel Zegler (Romeo + Juliet), was streamed live via StagePilot. Check out footage from the performance above. You can see production shots from the evening in the gallery below.

The leading cast was supported by ensemblists Amber Ardolino, Morgan Bryant, Beau Harmon, Joshua Dawson, Lena Matthews, Jimena Flores Sanchez, and Michael Santomassimo.

Paytas has spent her online life specializing in confessional-style video blogs, podcasts, and lifestyle content. Her open, bare-it-all style has regularly seen her under fire for statements critics have characterized as racist, antisemitic, homophobic, transphobic, and ableist, though Paytas has defended them as a promotional strategy. But despite (or perhaps because of) that messiness, Paytas has a devoted online following, including 1.3 million followers on Instagram, and almost 10 million on TikTok.

Trisha Paytas’ Big Broadway Dream was directed by Skylar Fox and choreographed by Sarah Meahl. ShowTown Theatricals's Samuel Dallas served as general manager, and Juniper Street Productions served as production manager.

The show featured additional material by Kelsey Fox and Simon Henriques, music by composer Joriah Kwame, production design by Caite Hevner, costume design by Sarafina Bush, lighting design by Cory Pattak, sound design by Joshua D. Reid, music coordination by Michael Aarons, and music supervision, orchestrations, and arrangements by Patrick Sulken. Fatimah Amill served as production stage manager.

The production was produced by Kobi Kassal and Benson Drive Productions (George Strus, CEO) in association with Carson Gleberman and Caitlin Berg.
