We had the pleasure of interviewing Daniel Mertzlufft over Zoom video!

Composer, writer and TikTok creator Daniel Mertzlufft ('Ratatouille: The TikTok Musical) is the mastermind behind the TikTok musical, "For You, Paige."

For You, Paige, is the first ever TikTok musical to be performed live on stage, in New York City, and streamed globally on TikTok via the @TikTok handle.

Starring Roman Banks (High School Musical: The Musical: The Series) and Sri Ramesh (EarCandy),
the “For You, Paige” musical is the first time an original musical will make its debut through a live online broadcast on TikTok, and it will be one of the most sophisticated productions TikTok has ever supported.

Alongside Banks and Ramesh, the production stars Krystina Alabado as Kaia, JJ Niemann as Jarek, along with Aveena Sawyer, Alysia Velez, Fernell Hogan, Cori Jaskier, Max Antonio Gonzalez, Emily Stillings, James Henry Thursday Ferrar and Paul Schoeffler. Producers also include co-executive producer Macy Schmidt, and Joshua Asen, Danielle Dioguardi, and Jessica Norton of Media Monks.

Mertzlufft was inspired by the extensive musical theatre community on TikTok to develop “For You, Paige,” collaborating with creators from all over the world to build this show.

In a story inspired by real TikTokers, teenage music nerd Landon (played by Roman Banks) collaborates with his best friend Paige (played by Sri Ramesh) on a TikTok song inspired by her favorite book series. Landon’s TikTok goes viral, thrusting him into the spotlight — and leaving Paige behind. When a producer offers Landon the opportunity to adapt the book series into a musical, Landon discovers that the glory of doing it all himself isn’t worth the stress and enlists the help of Paige and the TikTok community to turn the show into a huge success.
