ROMEO & JULIET at TWIN CITIES BALLET COMPANY

The British are coming again! This time, Shakespeare and Queen—for three nights of inspired ballet and live rock music in the World Premiere of “Romeo & Juliet: The Rock Ballet,” at the Fitzgerald Theater in St. Paul, March 7-8-9, 2025. Twin Cities Ballet (TCB) proudly presents an electrifying fusion of Shakespeare's timeless story with the iconic music of Queen, with live music by local band Mark Joseph's Dragon Attack. *

Artistic Directors Denise and Rick Vogt, the innovative duo that created Pink Floyd’s The Wall: A Rock Ballet, have reimagined Shakespeare's tragic love story for a new generation:  “Our World Premiere ballet is more than just a show,” notes Denise Vogt. “This contemporary ballet will deliver an unforgettable, high-octane, emotional ride that you won't want to miss.”

Set in a dystopian future where rival gangs battle for survival and dominance in a post-apocalyptic urban wasteland, this visually stunning production takes Shakespeare’s classic Romeo and Juliet into a bold, modern world with breathtaking choreography, fantastic dancing, original sets, costumes, lighting, a live band playing Queen’s music, and captivating multimedia projections.
