In recent months, Grand Central Terminal's Vanderbilt Hall has been transformed into a pseudo-performance space to promote some of the most anticipated TV shows—Earlier this year, a Severance pop-up brought an office cubicle with actual actors to the middle of the iconic station and created some pretty cool viral moments. 

If you've missed the past pop-ups, now is your chance to plan ahead: Next Monday, April 14, a-life size music box will appear at the station from 4pm to 8pm in honor of an upcoming Amazon Prime TV series, ÉTOILE.

Set in New York and Paris, ÉTOILE follows the dancers and artistic staff of two world-renowned ballet companies as they attempt to save their storied institutions by swapping their most talented stars. It's a dramedy by Amy Sherman-Palladino and Daniel Palladino, who are the same people behind The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.

Instead of a toy, the life sized music box at Grand Central will be populated by an actual dancer performing moves by legendary choreographer Marguerite Derricks, which will reflect some of the cutting-edge professional dancing that you'll see on the show. The people behind the pop-up recommend showing up at Vanderbilt Hall from 5pm until 6pm on Monday to experience a special treat. 

You'll be able to watch the show on Amazon Prime starting April 24. To access Vanderbilt Hall, look up for 45 East 42nd Street on Google Maps for street-level access.
