Earlier this week, a different kind of Romeo + Juliet began previews on Broadway at the Circle in the Square Theatre. Sam Gold's take on the Shakespeare classic, starring Rachel Zegler and Kit Connor, will include music by Grammy Award winner Jack Antonoff. While this revival is not a musical, it has us thinking about the many mucial takes on the Bard's work... so we scraped together 50 of them.
Enjoy songs from musicals like: Kiss Me, Kate, Something Rotten!, Bare, Hair, Reefer Madness, West Side Story, & Juliet, The Lion King, and more!
