As a seasoned gamer with a heart for all things entertainment, I can’t help but feel a mix of anticipation and nostalgia as I hear about Kit Connor’s Broadway debut and the upcoming third season of Heartstopper. Having spent countless hours immersed in virtual worlds, I must admit that watching real-life stories unfold on stage or screen feels like a refreshing change of pace.
The third season of “Heartstopper” is set to reappear triumphantly on Netflix as part of their 2024 TV Schedule, and Kit Connor isn’t taking a break to savor the celebration. Instead, he’s busier than ever. Interestingly, Connor has followed his co-star Joe Locke’s footsteps by making his Broadway debut at the end of September in “Romeo + Juliet.” As they are close friends, it’s no surprise that Locke would offer some guidance to make the shift to “The Great White Way” a bit smoother.
Making his initial appearance on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,” Connor was accompanied by Rachel Zegler, his co-star from “Romeo + Juliet.” Notably, Rachel is also set to make her Broadway debut. During their conversation about their current projects and the modern musical, Fallon brought up Connor’s upcoming Broadway debut in “Sweeney Todd” in 2024. He then asked Connor for any advice he might have to share. In response, the voice actor of “The Wild Robot” first offered:
He handed over an extensive directory of eateries in New York. His favorite pastime involves dining, chatting, and catching up. (This version maintains the original meaning while making it more conversational and easier to read.)
The advice Connor received wasn’t quite what he had expected, except for the tip about eating beforehand, but he still found it valuable. He even shared with Fallon that he had dined at a restaurant from the suggested list, and it lived up to its reputation, serving one of the best meals he had ever had.
At least fans can take comfort in the fact that Locke is ensuring his “Heartstopper” boyfriend has a full stomach, as his guidance hasn’t proven beneficial in other aspects of the actor’s stage career. To quote Connor:
Performance-wise, he gave me nothing.
It’s fortunate that it appears Connor didn’t require any guidance. The contemporary retelling of Shakespeare’s tale, directed by Tony Award winner Sam Gold and featuring music from artist Jack Antonoff, is now in preview stages. Although formal critiques haven’t been released yet, some enthusiastic viewers have disregarded theater decorum to film snippets of the musical, which they’ve shared online. These clips showcase Zegler and Connor’s moving duet and a romantic kiss between them, generating positive buzz for the production.
Although it’s disappointing that not everyone can attend the live performance in New York City, there’s still excitement as we eagerly await Connor’s portrayal of another lovestruck character when Heartstopper Season 3 premieres on Netflix. With its promise of intensified challenges and drama for the young LGBTQ+ couple, the new episodes could serve as a satisfying substitute. Moreover, the actors, Connor and Locke, have hinted at the increased sexual tension between their characters and the show’s inclusion of more “passionate” scenes now that they are older and more deeply involved in their relationship.
As a devoted fan, I’m excitedly sharing that if you find yourself in New York City, don’t miss out on the exclusive show! Secure your tickets by visiting the official website right away because it’s only running until February 2025. On the other hand, if you can’t make it, hop onto Netflix to watch the first two seasons of Heartstopper before Season 3 premieres on Thursday, October 3rd!
