With more than 4.5 million followers across platforms, including <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/micahandsarahhh\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Instagram<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@micahandsarah\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">TikTok<\/a>, the Brooklyn-based couple has built a loyal audience by turning everyday family life into something musical, hysterical, and entirely relatable.<\/p>\n<p>Before the viral videos and brand collaborations, the two were theater kids chasing big dreams in New York. They met on tour with Beauty and the Beast in 2015, and what started as a friendship quickly grew into a life partnership in every sense of the word.<\/p>\n<p>Today, from their Brooklyn neighborhood stomping grounds, they\u2019re raising their son, one-year-old Shelton, while creating the kind of content that feels like you\u2019ve pulled up a chair at their kitchen table. Whether it\u2019s Micah\u2019s wildly exaggerated impersonations of Sarah, spontaneous singing duets in the kitchen, or honest glimpses into parenting in a small NYC apartment, their dynamic is equally playful and surprisingly grounded.<\/p>\n<p>In this Q&amp;A, Micah and Sarah open up about falling in love on tour, taking the leap into full-time content creation, building community in Brooklyn, and why humor has become their secret weapon in both marriage and parenthood.<\/p>\n<p>Psst\u2026 Check Out<a href=\"https:\/\/www.newyorkfamily.com\/tamron-hall-on-motherhood-her-son-moses-and-the-magic-of-harlem\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"> Tamron Hall on Motherhood, Her Son Moses, and the Magic of Harlem<\/a><\/p>\n<p>You two met while touring Beauty and the Beast. How did your relationship begin, and what was life like on tour together?<\/p>\n<p>Micah: It started out as friends\u2026 We had both spoken to every other person in the cast before we spoke to each other, lol! There was a cast dinner, and when Sarah walked in, there was only one open seat, and it was next to me. We started talking and clicked immediately; it felt like we had been friends forever!<\/p>\n<p>Sarah: The tour was such a great experience! We got to travel the country, do tons of fun things, and create many memories together right from the beginning of our relationship, which was so special. We also bonded quickly because we were together all the time and got to see and experience the other person\u2019s values under a microscope. We learned each other\u2019s strengths and weaknesses quickly, which I think ultimately benefited our long-term relationship.<\/p>\n<p>What was it like moving from performing on stage to creating content full-time, and what inspired you to make the leap?<\/p>\n<p>S: Prior to the pandemic, we had pivoted our paths to focus on figuring out how we could build a business together. So that was already the frame of mind we were in, and then when COVID happened, Micah was at home a lot and started creating and posting silly skit videos on TikTok. He decided to post a video I had filmed of him in the infinity pool on our honeymoon, where he looks like his head is detached from his body, and it ended up going viral.<\/p>\n<p>M: She didn\u2019t film it with the intention for it to be posted; she just thought it was funny! Even making just a few dollars from that video caused me to start thinking about how content creation could be a business and a career. Eventually, I started pulling her into the videos, so we decided to make our account a couple\u2019s account and got very consistent with posting.<\/p>\n<p>We were both working full-time 9-5 jobs and building our businesses (we were pursuing a few options at the time) every night and every weekend. We did almost nothing else besides go to our jobs and build our businesses for 3 straight years, 2021-2024. That\u2019s when we got to the point where we could go full-time in business for ourselves and decided to make content creation our one and only focus.<\/p>\n<p>The \u201cMicah impersonates Sarah\u201d series has become such a fan favorite. How did that start, and did you ever expect it to take off the way it has?<\/p>\n<p>S: Oh my gosh, I\u2019ve always thought that Micah does such a hilarious, exaggerated impersonation of me, so one day we decided to turn that comedy into a video, and luckily, people related to it, which is always our goal. We honestly weren\u2019t thinking about it taking off or becoming something we could turn into a series; we just hoped it would make people laugh, but being able to expand on the concept with a series of videos has been such a fun thing to do, so we are glad people enjoy them!<\/p>\n<p>Raising a child in Brooklyn is an adventure in itself, and as a born-and-bred Brooklynite, I can safely say there is no other place in the world quite like Brooklyn. What do you love most about raising Shelton here?<\/p>\n<p>M: So many things! All the places we can walk, the fun parks, the food (Shelton loves to eat as much as we do!), the access to just about anything culture-related, public libraries, you name it. What\u2019s the strangest or most surprising thing about raising a child in NYC that you\u2019ve learned along the way?<\/p>\n<p>S: I would say that, so far, it\u2019s simpler than we thought it would be! It can sound daunting with the way life is for us in NYC\u2026no car, carrying groceries home, small spaces, no backyards, etc, but the parenting community in our neighborhood is super supportive and always willing to share resources.<\/p>\n<p>M: NYC is a big city, but finding the right people and community makes all the difference. Our circle of friends is a big part of what has kept us here.<\/p>\n<p>Parenting can be messy and really stressful at times. How do you spot the funny side when things get tough, and what takeaways do you hope other parents get from your videos?<\/p>\n<p>S: Micah is naturally excellent at finding the humor in everything, which is such a blessing because life can be so serious. There\u2019s very little we can control, so our thought process is that even when things get chaotic or don\u2019t go our way, we might as well figure out a way to enjoy it, and humor is usually the answer. Our hope is that other parents know that we are all in this together and feel encouraged by that.<\/p>\n<p>M: Yeah, our goal has always been to bring joy to people, and I think that\u2019s possible through the tough stuff, too. The messages we get about being the bright spot in someone\u2019s hard season or that they had a really hard day, but they came upon our content, and it made them laugh\u2026those messages mean so much to us!<\/p>\n<p>With all the filming, parenting, and running a business, how do you actually make time for each other?<\/p>\n<p>S: We have to put it in the calendar! In nice weather, we really love family walks in the evening. Shelton loves looking around and taking in the world, which then gives us a chance to debrief together and connect as a couple.<\/p>\n<p>M: We also do our best to schedule out date nights in advance each month so they don\u2019t fall by the wayside.<\/p>\n<p>Check out our April issue!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/issuu.com\/schnepmedia\/docs\/2026_04_nyf?fr=xKAE9_zU1NQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-422861\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/001_NewYorkFamily-1-copy.webp.jpeg\" alt=\"Apri cover, From Broadway Tour to Viral Fame: How Micah and Sarah Built a Family Brand Online\" width=\"450\" height=\"596\"  \/><\/a><br \/>\nWhat are you working on next? Any new projects or collaborations you\u2019re excited about right now?<\/p>\n<p>S: We recently designed a water\u00a0bottle sling bag in collaboration with Andar, one of our favorite brands, which was really exciting because it\u2019s something we conceptualized from beginning to end, and it sold out in less than 24 hours when it launched! We are also working on a jewelry collaboration with another brand we love, which will be released later this year, as well as writing a children\u2019s book that we are working on bringing to life.<\/p>\n<p>M: We are also building our own brand from the ground up, which is something we are super excited about, as it will be a new experience. We know we are going to learn so much, and that is fun for us. My two friends and I have also written a pilot for a comedy TV series that we are pumped about and starting to pitch around!<\/p>\n<p>As a theater couple, what are some Broadway shows you hope to take Shelton to when he gets a little older?<\/p>\n<p>S: Wicked is a fave for sure. I hope some of the older big dance musicals come back around for us to share with him, like On The Town, man, that was a fun one. Or when they did Holiday Inn for a Christmas stint on Broadway. I love those kinds of feel-good, big-production-number musicals.<\/p>\n<p>M: That\u2019s really hard\u2026I\u2019d have to say The Lion King. I remember seeing it for the first time as a kid and being so amazed by all the puppets and effects they used on stage. I was blown away by the stampede, and the music is just so, so epic. I know he\u2019ll love it.<\/p>\n<p>Lastly, what are some of your favorite local spots in Brooklyn you\u2019d recommend?<\/p>\n<p>S: Depends on the weather! Brooklyn Bridge Park, when it\u2019s nice\u2026great walking paths, playgrounds, swings, water views. Fini Patio Bar down there by the water has great pizza. Al Badawi is a Middle Eastern restaurant that we are constantly ordering from. It\u2019s so dang good and fresh! Also, if you go eat in person, it\u2019s BYOB, so you can bring your own bottle of wine or whatever you like and have a really affordable, amazing meal!<\/p>\n<p>M: Lillo Cucina is an Italian hole-in-the-wall spot that is the most authentic we have found. Incredible pasta\u2026their menu changes based on what they get fresh from their suppliers. Their tiramisu is also unbelievable; we\u2019ve never found a better one, and we try them everywhere to see if we can find one to beat it. We don\u2019t think it\u2019s possible! Black Forest Brooklyn is a really fun beer garden with fantastic food and great stroller space. Talea Beer is an awesome brewery, also with great stroller space. Books are Magic is a great local bookstore to browse around in.<\/p>\n<p>Psst\u2026 Check Out <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newyorkfamily.com\/anchor-eva-pilgrim-work-family-balance\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">From Newsroom to Motherhood: Eva Pilgrim on Work, Family, and Balance<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/link.schnepsmedia.com\/join\/7hf\/signup-page-fam\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-391465 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/newsletter-signup-1.png\" alt=\"Sign up for New York Family's weekly newsletters!\" width=\"612\" height=\"442\"  \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>\t<script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><script async src=\"\/\/www.tiktok.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Photo Credit: Shelby Pine Our April Cover: Brooklyn couple, Micah &amp; Sarah are turning the funny, messy, and&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":183310,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[98,100,99,15576,52190,9,24,63,73776,233,13078],"class_list":{"0":"post-183309","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-brooklyn","8":"tag-brooklyn","9":"tag-brooklyn-headlines","10":"tag-brooklyn-news","11":"tag-brooklyn-families","12":"tag-family-life","13":"tag-new-york","14":"tag-new-york-city","15":"tag-nyc","16":"tag-nyc-parents","17":"tag-parenting","18":"tag-social-media-influencers"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/183309","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=183309"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/183309\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/183310"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=183309"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=183309"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=183309"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
