Bridgerton, the Regency-era TV smash that sparked a virtual water-cooler moment for period drama fans, is now firing the imaginations of musical theatre devotees on TikTok.
The idea was sparked by the singer Abigail Barlow and her writing partner Emily Bear, who originally uploaded a song from the point of view of Daphne Bridgerton.
