Cyrus Veyssi begins their first Broadway engagement on October 13, taking on the role of May in & Juliet at the Stephen Sondheim Theatre. The social media creator, writer and comedian is scheduled to appear through December 6. The musical will end its run on January 3, 2027.
Cyrus Veyssi steps into & Juliet at the Stephen Sondheim Theatre, playing May from October 13 through December 6. This marks the performer’s first Broadway credit. Beyond stage work, Veyssi has built a following exceeding two million people through writing, comedy and digital content.
Veyssi’s material often mixes beauty, wellness and lifestyle topics with humor while questioning rigid gender expectations and supporting inclusion. In 2025, TIME recognized Veyssi among its 100 Most Influential Creators. Veyssi also published HONEY, an interactive journal of affirmations. The musical itself is scheduled to close January 3, 2027.
Veyssi’s arrival may draw younger digital audiences toward Broadway, especially fans who know their comedy and lifestyle work. It could also increase visibility for performers whose public presence challenges conventional gender expectations. For & Juliet, this casting might create fresh attention during its final months, though the lasting effect depends on ticket sales and critical response. Producers may see social-media reach as a useful bridge between online communities and live theater, but such influence remains uncertain.
