& Juliet has released a first look at Cheryl Porerin rehearsals for her upcoming Broadway debut. Watch a new video of her learning choreography with the musical's Associate Choreographer, Casie "Tynee" Goshow. Also shared is a preview of Porter singing "Oops, I Did It Again" in music rehearsal with Dominic Fallacaro.
Porter will join the cast as ‘Angélique' on Tuesday, August 5, playing a limited 13-week engagement in the fan-favorite role. She follows Tony Award nominee Jeannette Bayardelle, who plays her final performance Sunday, August 3. Porter joins the cast alongside James Monroe Iglehart, who will take on the role of 'Lance' starting August 5.
& Juliet flips the script on the greatest love story ever told, imagining what would happen next if Juliet hadn’t ended it all over Romeo, and got a second chance at life and love – on her terms. Juliet’s new story bursts to life through a playlist of pop anthems as iconic as her name. Nominated for 9 Tony Awards including Best Musical, & Juliet is created by the Emmy-winning writer from “Schitt’s Creek” and features an iconic playlist of Pop hits, including “Since U Been Gone,” “Roar,” “I Want It That Way,” “Confident,” and more.
In addition to Boyd and Bayardelle, the current Broadway company of & Juliet includes Joey Fatone as ‘Lance,’ Alison Luff as ‘Anne,’ Drew Gehling as ‘Shakespeare,’ Liam Pearce as ‘Romeo,’ Michael Iván Carrier as ‘May,’ and Nathan Levy as ‘François’. Gabe Amato, Reese Britts, Nicholas Cooper, Charli D’Amelio, Jhailyn Paige Farcon, Makai Hernandez, Joomin Hwang, Khailah Johnson, Elsa Keefe, Alaina Ví Maderal, Daniel J. Maldonado, Mackenzie Meadows, Alejandro Mullerdahlberg, Joe Moeller, Cassie Silva, TJ Tapp, Darien Van Rensalier, and Romy Vuksan complete the cast for the show’s third year on Broadway.
By Spring 2025, & Juliet will have played in nine countries and on four continents since its West End Premiere in 2019. The first North American tour of the musical kicked off its route last fall and will continue its run of more than 30 US cities this year, joined by the UK Tour (which began in July 2024), and a German production (October 2024). This December, an additional production will open at the Royal Alexandra Theatre in Toronto, Canada, returning to the musical’s first North American home. The Original Broadway Cast Recording of & Juliet was released in October 2022 on Atlantic Records and is available wherever streaming music is played.
