& JULIET to Close on Broadway In January

& Juliet will play its final Broadway performance on Sunday, January 3, 2027, concluding a run of more than four years at the Stephen Sondheim Theatre.

At the time of its closing, the Tony Award-nominated musical will have played 1,723 regular performances and 20 previews, placing it among the 50 longest-running Broadway musicals of all time.

The production opened on Broadway November 17, 2022 and has grossed more than $175 million. In 2024, it became the first new musical of its season to recoup its Broadway investment. More than 1.5 million audience members have attended the production during its run. Check out what the critics had to say.

"From the very beginning, & Juliet has been winning over audiences and critics alike, shattering every stereotype about jukebox musicals to deliver a smart, funny, heartfelt story – all while sparking true joy in everyone who sees it," producers Theresa Steele Page and Eva Price said. "We're incredibly proud of the run we've had on Broadway, and the story of inclusion, acceptance and second chances we've been able to share with more than 1.5 million people in our four years on Broadway."

Over the course of its Broadway engagement, & Juliet has featured 43 Broadway debuts, with performers including Charli D'Amelio, Laurie Hernandez, Chrissy Metz, Kandi Burruss, Cheryl Porter and Joey Fatone joining the company.

Before the production closes, Kenzie Ziegler, Aly Michalka, Spencer Sutherland and Anthony Gargiula are among the performers set to make their Broadway debuts in the musical.

The show has also expanded internationally, with productions having played 73 U.S. cities, 34 states and Washington, D.C., as well as nine countries across four continents.

The Broadway production has used 8,447 pounds of confetti during its run and amassed more than 726 million views across its social media channels. The Original Broadway Cast recording, released by Atlantic Records in October 2022, has spent 130 weeks on the Billboard Cast Albums chart.

The production has additionally raised more than $1.25 million for charitable organizations including Broadway Cares, The Trevor Project, Folx Health and Girl Be Heard.
