A ticket to see your favorite Broadway star may be elusive, but in the digital era, the world is still a stage.

Some Broadway powerhouses know this and keep their fans riveted on social media with their daily musings and candid pictures. These Broadway babies will make your timeline absolutely Tony-worthy.


1. Laura Benanti

Not only is one of the funniest people on Broadway wowing audiences as Eliza in My Fair Lady, but Laura Benanti also happens to be precisely why Twitter was invented.

Six time Tony Winner Audra McDonald is actually perfect, so why wouldn't she be brilliant at sharing her life on social media? From showing off her baby bump to urging her followers to vote and bringing attention to vital social issues, McDonald's Instagram is a rallying cry in the form of a velvety soprano.

3. Lin-Manuel Miranda

Lin-Manuel Miranda is the Bob Ross of Twitter. You know he's a genius, but his musings still make you feel valuable and motivated. Miranda's legendary good morning/good night tweets are so inspiring that they're now available in book form!

4. Patti Murin

She may be playing a Princess on Broadway in Frozen, but Patti Murin is super relatable. From awkward interactions at a coffee shop to adventures at The Container Store, her feed is almost as entertaining as her performances.

5. Betty Buckley

This star is leading the tour for the wildly popular Hello, Dolly! revival, but she still finds time to post about what she's up to, offering thoughts on politics, motivational quotes, and moments backstage while she's on the road.

One of Nevada's top cops—who provided training for law enforcement across the state—gave a master class in how not to act during a traffic stop when he was pulled over for distracted driving in a state vehicle on August 18.

Chief investigator for the office of Nevada Attorney General Aaron Ford, William Scott Jr.—a retired Las Vegas Metro Police Department (LVMPD) captain—did almost everything a person shouldn't do: arguing, name dropping, threatening retaliation, getting out of his vehicle to confront the traffic officer, and verbally berating and mocking the officer while using a homophobic slur.

White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller's cousin, Alisa Kasmer, publicly disowned him in a post she shared over the summer that has resurfaced as President Donald Trump's immigration crackdown—which Miller orchestrated—accelerates.

Kasmer, Miller’s cousin on his father’s side, reminisced about their childhood, describing him as an “awkward, funny, needy middle child who loved to chase attention” but was “always the sweetest with the littlest family members.” She once regarded him as “young, conservative, maybe misguided, but lovable and harmless.”

AOC Hilariously Reacts After Fox News Makes Stephen Miller Watch Her Brutal Takedown Of Him

After New York Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez criticized White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller during an Instagram livesteam, Fox News played the video for Miller, only for Ocasio-Cortez to laugh at the awkwardness of it all in her follow-up response.

During her livestream, Ocasio-Cortez said “one of the best ways that you can dismantle a movement of insecure men is by making fun of them," urging her followers to mock MAGA men. She then called Miller "a clown" and suggested he—the architect of President Donald Trump's immigration policies—takes out his anger on others because he's "like, 4 feet 10 inches."
