Cost n’ Mayor Make Work That Feels Like Them—From Viral TikTok Clips to Full-Scale Musical Theater Productions
Whether they’re making work for the screen or the stage, Cost n’ Mayor—Austin and Marideth Telenko—are natural storytellers. Their idiosyncratic mix of street styles and musical theater dance is as eloquent as it is magnetic. The pair have leveraged their star power, initially built via witty dance videos on social media, to choreograph for college dance teams, TV shows, and music videos. Notably, they just concluded the successful run of their own off-Broadway show, 11 to Midnight. The production drew talent from across the dance world, with performers including Heather Morris, Nia Sioux, and Melissa Becraft.
