The most famous love story ever told returns to Broadway for the first time in 36 years in a stunning new production from five-time Tony nominee David Leveaux. Jealousy. Prejudice. Betrayal. And the chance that true love could actually conquer all. That’s Romeo and Juliet.

FEATURED REVIEWS FOR Romeo and Juliet

'Romeo and Juliet' review: Not in Bloom
5 / 10

Alas, these lovers are not just star-crossed but so mismatched that they could be from different galaxies in director David Leveaux's busy-with-brainstorms but broad and surprisingly unmoving production.

6 / 10

The poster shot of Orlando Bloom and Condola Rashad for Romeo and Juliet, clad in purest white and lost in each other's eyes on a bed of snowy linens, could be a perfume commercial. Let's call it William Shakespeare's Obsession. But the dreamy intoxication that such a heady fragrance might transmit is largely missing from David Leveaux's snoozy modern-dress production, along with poetry and heat.

But such contemporary trappings never quite amount to a distinctive edge.
