& Juliet

Juliet’s new story bursts to life through a playlist of pop anthems, including Britney Spear’s …Baby One More Time, Katy Perry’s Roar, and chart toppers Since U Been Gone, It’s My Life, Can’t Stop the Feeling, and more—all from Max Martin, the genius songwriter/producer behind more #1 hits than any other artist this century, and his collaborators.
Break free of the balcony scene and get into this romantic comedy that proves there’s life after Romeo. The only thing tragic would be missing what is “easily the best Musical of the Year” (Forbes).
