By: Michael Major Aug. 29, 2025
2025 Jimmy Awards Winner Fabiola Caraballo Quijada will lead the North American Tour company of & Juliet, taking on the role of ‘Juliet’ for its second blockbuster year on the road. Just months after winning The National High School Musical Theatre Awards® (NHSMTA®), more commonly known as the Jimmy Awards®, Caraballo Quijada will join the touring company fresh from graduating Tyler Legacy High School in Texas, where she was a three-time Jimmy Award® Nominee.
Caraballo Quijada is the 2025 Jimmy Award® Winner for Best Performance by an Actress for her performance as Sandra Bloom in her high school’s production of Big Fish. She has represented the Broadway Dallas High School Musical Theatre Awards at the Jimmy Awards® since 2023 and became a finalist in 2024.
& Juliet is currently playing at Los Angeles’ Ahmanson Theatre through September 7, 2025, where it has enjoyed rave reviews. “A glittering party powered by Max Martin hits...this is just what the doctor ordered”, says Charles McNulty of the LA Times. Following its Southern California engagements in Los Angeles and Costa Mesa (playing September 9 – 21, 2025 at the Segerstrom Center for the Arts), the tour will go on to visit more than 40 cities in its second year including Miami, San Antonio, Montreal, Indianapolis, San Diego, Austin and the tour’s first triumphant return Chicago.
Caraballo Quijada and the year two company officially begin performances in Sacramento, CA on September 23, 2025. Complete casting for year two will be announced early this fall.

Featuring songs by the legendary Grammy-winning songwriter/producer Max Martin, a book by the Emmy-winning writer from “Schitt’s Creek,” David West Read, direction by Luke Sheppard and choreography by Emmy-Award winner Jennifer Weber, & Juliet opened on Broadway in November 2022, where it continues playing to sold-out crowds and breaking box office records.
The hilarious new musical & Juliet flips the script on the greatest love story ever told and asks: what would happen if Juliet didn’t end it all over Romeo? Get whisked away on a fabulous journey as she ditches her famous ending for a fresh beginning and a second chance at life and love—her way.
Juliet’s new story bursts to life through a playlist of pop anthems as iconic as her name, including "Since U Been Gone‚" "Roar," "Baby One More Time," "Larger Than Life‚" "That’s The Way It Is," and "Can't Stop the Feeling!"—all from the genius songwriter/producer behind more #1 hits than any other artist this century— Max Martin. 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 it.
The full creative team for the North American tour of & Juliet includes David West Read (Book), Max Martin & Friends (Music & Lyrics), Luke Sheppard (Direction), Jennifer Weber (Choreography), Bill Sherman (Musical Supervision, Orchestrations and Arrangements), Soutra Gilmour (Scenic Design), Paloma Young (Costume Design), Howard Hudson (Lighting Design), Gareth Owen (Sound Design), Andrzej Goulding (Video & Projection Design) and J.

& Juliet has now been performed on four continents since its World Premiere in September 2019. It began at the Manchester Opera House in England, before moving to London’s West End, where it won three Olivier Awards, and 6 WhatsOnStage Awards before playing its final performance at the Shaftesbury Theatre in March 2023. The show had its North American premiere in July 2022 in Toronto, where it broke box office records and played to standing-room-only audiences, before heading to Broadway, where it again broke box office records and plays nightly to sold-out crowds. An Australian production of & Juliet premiered in February 2023 at Melbourne’s Regent Theatre. A UK Tour began in July 2024 and the production made its German premiere in October 2024. The German production marks the show’s first production with a book translated into a different language, and will also be the sixth country to welcome & Juliet in less than five years.

The Original Broadway Cast Recording of & JULIET was released in October 2022 on Atlantic Records and is available wherever streaming music is played.
