In an electrifying moment that sent ripples of excitement through the audience at her sold-out Trishmas show, the indomitable Trisha Paytas took to the stage at New York’s illustrious Beacon Theatre to announce a dazzling chapter in her career: her inaugural foray into the world of Broadway with a show aptly titled Trisha Paytas’ Big Broadway Dream.
This innovative spectacle, birthed from the creative minds of Kobi Kassal, Editor-in-Chief of Theatrely, and produced by Benson Drive Productions helmed by George Strus, promises an unforgettable night—a one-time-only musical extravaganza set to ignite the stage at Broadway’s St. James Theatre on the evening of Monday, February 3, 2025, at 8:00 PM ET. For those unable to witness the spectacle in person, it will be livestreamed via StagePilot, making it accessible for devotees far and wide.
Tickets will become available at the crack of dawn on Friday, December 13th, starting at 10:00 AM ET, through the dedicated portal at www.TrishaOnBroadway.com, with all the net proceeds generously supporting the Entertainment Community Fund.
This momentous announcement follows a whirlwind of anticipation that began nearly a year ago, when Theatrely playfully teased fans with an April Fool’s article hinting at Paytas joining the cast of Chicago. The fervor that ensued, upon Trisha sharing the piece, was enough to send the site crashing—a testament to her potent influence and devoted following. And now, this digital luminary stands on the precipice of fulfilling a dream long cherished in her heart.
“I couldn’t be more thrilled,” exclaimed Paytas, her voice ablaze with emotion. “Of all my dreams, this one is the biggest. I didn’t know how it would happen, but I always felt it would. I’m thankful. Grateful. Humbled. I can’t wait to perform with so many talented people on a Broadway stage. Making my Broadway debut is what I look forward to most in 2025. I hope others find inspiration, proving that you truly can achieve anything. I’ve faced skepticism over the years, but here we are! This is just the beginning of my New York adventure.”
Kassal, reflecting on the surreal journey from a whimsical article to reality, shared, “When I wrote that playful piece about Trisha coming to Broadway, I could have never anticipated this moment. I penned it as a tribute to her undeniable charm and magnetism, advocating for her presence in the theatre world. Now, alongside my partner-in-crime George Strus, we’re ecstatic to celebrate Trisha and many others making their Broadway debuts with this landmark production!”
Strus echoed this sentiment, beaming with pride, “Collaborating with Kobi, Trisha, and our fantastic team to craft this extravaganza has been a profound joy. Trisha has passionately promoted Broadway for years, and knowing her debut will also lift the Entertainment Community Fund makes it even more special. We are grateful to our partners who worked tirelessly to ensure we can livestream this event—bringing Broadway to YOU. Everyone across the globe can tune in and witness Trisha’s transformation from Broadway’s biggest fan to its shining star!”
Trisha Paytas, a multifaceted artist—singer, performer, podcaster, and YouTube sensation—boasts over twenty million followers. Yet beyond the numbers lies a familiar dream: the desire to grace the hallowed boards of Broadway.
Now, this vibrant personality is poised to seize her once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, advocating for the Entertainment Community Fund. Expect an evening brimming with soaring musical numbers, surprise guests, and perhaps Broadway’s inaugural live mukbang (a reality yet to be fully embraced by the Broadway League).
Mark your calendars, for on this night, we’ll witness the metamorphosis of Broadway’s most ardent admirer into its radiating star. Trisha Paytas’ Big Broadway Dream may just be that serendipitous moment where dreams take flight in the most unexpected of ways!
The production is set to be a visual and auditory feast, directed by the innovative Skylar Fox and choreographed by the talented Sarah Meahl, with ShowTown Theatricals assuming the role of General Manager. Notably, this venture is fiscally sponsored by Producer Hub.
So, welcome to an unmissable evening, crafted by Kobi Kassal and George Strus, alongside the passionate insights of Carson Gleberman and Caitlin Berg.
Trisha Paytas is represented by CAA.
