Review: &JULIET REWRITES THE NARRATIVE at STRAZ CENTER
by Drew Eberhard - Feb 14, 2026
&Juliet is a 2019 jukebox musical, featuring a book by David West Read and music by Max Martin, a Swedish Pop songwriter. On the surface, its story is fairly simple when laid out, but the adventures of its characters and how they traverse the narrative is whatreally get to the heart of the story.
Review: & JULIET at Straz Center
by Deborah Bostock-Kelley - Feb 11, 2026
Created by the Emmy®-winning writer from Schitt’s Creek, &Juliet at the Straz was a witty burst of female power, driven by knockout vocals. Anne’s challenge to Shakespeare to imagine a stronger woman set the whole story in motion. Though even with strong performances from the men, this show belonged to the women, and that felt exactly right for this moment.
Previews: & JULIET at Straz Center
by Deborah Bostock-Kelley - Jan 15, 2026
The high‑energy national tour of & Juliet bursts into the Straz Center, February 10 to 15, led by 18‑year‑old Fabiola Caraballo Quijada, who brings infectious joy and fire to a Juliet determined to rewrite her own ending. Packed with iconic Max Martin hits like “Roar,” “Since U Been Gone,” “Baby One More Time,” and “Can’t Stop the Feeling,” the Emmy-winning musical flips Shakespeare on his head with humor, heart, and a heroine choosing life on her own terms.
Review: & JULIET at Dr. Phillips Center For The Performing Arts
by Albert Gutierrez - Jan 8, 2026
If “& Juliet” works at all, it’s because it commits to the premise without apology: a Shakespearean remix told through the lens of pop music, meta-theatre, and a general belief that stories never really die, they just get re-written. This touring production of the still-running Broadway musical leaned into this ethos with a cast that understood the assignment – treating the material with enough sincerity to make it land, but enough wryness to make it feel like commentary.

Review: & JULIET at Kansas City Music Hall
by Alan Portner - Nov 20, 2025
The national tour of “& Juliet” opened Tuesday night for a run through Sunday at the Kansas City Music Hall with enough voltage to transform the theater into a full-color pop arena. “& Juliet” is a clever take and reimaging of Shakespeare’s “Romeo and Juliet.” It is funny. It is hip! It is hugely enjoyed by the audience!

Review: & JULIET at ASU Gammage
by Herbert Paine - Nov 5, 2025
In the Tony-nominated musical & Juliet, it’s as if William Shakespeare was handed a bedazzled microphone and told to start writing Romeo and Juliet all over again, only this time he should make it a fizzy, whirling pop fantasia that pulses with enough pop/rock earworms to play in your head on an endless loop for days.

The national tour of &Juliet is celebrating the beginning of its second year on the road at Broadway Sacramento, and it’s a party that’s unmatched.
