The famous story of the star-crossed lovers Romeo and Juliet comes to the West End with a twist this autumn. Juliet, who is poised to kill herself for thou Romeo, has a change of mind and puts down the dagger: she decides to continue life after Romeo.
From Britney’s “Hit me baby One More Time” to The Weeknd’s “Can’t Feel My Face”, this daring and powerful musical includes some of the biggest pop anthems of the 21st century. Produced by the phenomenal songwriter Max Martin, these classic pop songs are arranged in a astonishingly different way by Bill Sherman. A fabulously inventive and unique “what if” musical, starring Hamilton’s Miriam Teak-Lee, & Juliet is a dazzling performance full of surprises!
After abandoning poor Romeo in heaven, Juliet heads for Paris with her nurse and friends to rebuild her life and embark on a journey of self-discovery. She learns how to live without her Romeo and instead decides to become the author of her own story. With her fate no longer written in the stars, Juliet realises that perhaps, there is life after Romeo...
