AceShowbiz - Nia Sioux is making her Off-Broadway debut with a three-week stint in the dance production 11 to Midnight. The show officially opened on February 11, 2026, and runs through May 31 at The Orpheum Theatre, with Sioux joining the cast for a limited engagement.
11 to Midnight is a vibrant dance showcase choreographed and led by TikTok dance duo Austin and Marideth Telenko, known as Cost n’ Mayor. Set during a New Year’s Eve apartment party in New York City, the storyline follows seven friends—including Sioux—celebrating the turning of the year while reflecting on their past, present, and future. The production features theatrical street-style dance and a dynamic soundtrack composed by Jacob Aviner, Spencer Novich, and Steve Toulmin.
The cast includes dancers discovered through an international online audition process that attracted over 500 submissions. Alongside Sioux, performers such as Heather Morris—famous for her role on Glee—Brendon Chan, Kati Simon, Ache Richardson, Makenzie Olsen, Tyson Hill, Kristalyn Gill, and Jake Urban round out the ensemble. The show is directed by Lyndsay Magid Aviner, with a creative team comprising scenic designer Arnell Sancianco, costume designer Alexandra Ludwig, and multiple technical designers contributing to lighting, sound, and special effects.
Dance Moms launched Sioux’s career when she joined the Lifetime reality show at age nine as one of Abby Lee Miller’s dancers. The series ran for seven seasons and chronicled the intense world of competitive dance. Sioux parlayed her early fame into other projects, including starring roles in the Lifetime movie Imperfect High and the Facebook Watch series Dance With Nia, which she also executive produced. She authored a bestselling memoir about her experience on the show and a children’s book titled Today I Dance.
Sioux’s move to Off-Broadway with 11 to Midnight marks a significant expansion of her artistic portfolio, transitioning from reality TV star to live theatrical performer in a high-profile contemporary dance production. The show’s blend of social media influence and professional choreography highlights a new generation of dance entertainment, making Sioux’s participation especially timely given her strong digital following and dance background.
