& Juliet
Get whisked away on a fabulous journey as Juliet ditches her famous ending for a fresh beginning and a second chance at life and love—her way. Created by the Emmy-winning writer from Schitt’s Creek, this hilarious new musical flips the script on the greatest love story ever told and asks, what would happen next if Juliet didn’t end it all over Romeo?
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).
