Who Played Romeo in & Juliet

Romeo is a role in & Juliet, a musical that opened Broadway in 2022.

Shakespeare's greatest tragedy gets a rewrite in a new musical that has audiences feeling the love. Now in its third year on Broadway, & Juliet is a musical dance party that will dare you not to sing along.  What's it all about? What if Juliet didn't die? That should almost be the start of the play! & Juliet is a multi-generational story of self-discovery, empowerment and love, 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. 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. While the story is a new experience even for the most ardent fans of the Bard, the show's score is a fresh take on some of the best-known pop music of the past three decades. Juliet's adventure bursts to life through a playlist of pop anthems as iconic as her name, all written by Max Martin and his collaborators. & Juliet reimagines iconic pop songs you know and love—in ways you’ll never expect. Featuring “Since U Been Gone,” “Larger Than Life,” “…Baby One More Time,” “I Want It That Way,” “It’s Gonna Be Me,” “Roar,” “It’s My Life,” and more.  The story comes from the mind of David West Read- the Emmy-winning writer of Schitt's Creek, features direction by Luke Sheppard and choreography by Jennifer Weber. The jukebox musical first found life in the UK, where it premiered in Manchester before transferring to the West End in 2019. A mostly new cast went on to star in the show's North American premiere in Toronto before they moved to Broadway later in 2022. & Juliet finally opened at the Stephen Sondheim Theatre on November 17, 2022 and went on to earn nine Tony nominations the following year, including 'Best Musical.' You'll especially love & Juliet if you grew up with the music of artists like The Backstreet Boys, Britney Spears, Katy Perry, and Kelly Clarkson. Its themes of self-discovery, empowerment, and independence make it a perfect theatrical experience for young audiences. This musical is all about female empowerment and will have you unabashedly singing (and dancing) out of the theatre. That's the way it is!
