Theaters might still be closed, but musical fans can find amazing new duets on TikTok! TikTok is known for offering musicians and artists a chance to show their talents and collaborate with one another through the duet feature. When one creator makes a video showcasing a unique song they've written, it's common for other artists to add their own twist or harmony to bring the piece to a new level. This ability to build on art is one of the reasons content on TikTok is unique, engaging and diverse. The musical theater community has stepped into center stage with this format by creating elaborate, multi-part harmonies that are good enough for Broadway - or at least Broadway stars.

Each musical collaboration starts with a creator who writes and performs an original song that catches the attention of the community.

From there the duet can stay as it is or grow into a multipart masterpiece with each new singer adding a different aspect to the song. That's how a song can go from being a simple duet.

And if singers don't feel like writing, they can always sing duets with their favorite Broadway songs.
