The North American tour of & Juliet is now underway. Let's see what the critics have to say - check out all the reviews.

The new West End production of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Starlight Express will release its cast album on 8 November, with pre-orders available now. The musical opened this summer at the Troubadour Wembley Park Theatre and extended booking through to June 2025.

Broadway in Columbus will welcome the National Tour of & Juliet to the Ohio Theatre (39 E. State St.) for eight shows Tuesday through Sunday, February 18-23, 2025.

Like so many great Broadway musicals, this one was also born somewhere else, getting its start in London’s West End like so many other imports to Broadway. With a book by David West Read, who writes some of the funniest dialogue I have heard in a while, this light-hearted romp through some weighty topics like feminine power, transgender rights and respect, toxic masculinity, never loses its sense of humor.

JUST FOR ONE DAY – The Live Aid Musical will transfer to the West End, beginning performances at The Shaftesbury Theatre on Thursday 15 May 2025, before a Special Gala Performance on Sunday 13 July, exactly 40 years after the iconic concerts were staged in London and Philadelphia.

The & Juliet national tour is set to play the Citizens Opera House November 5 – 17, 2024 as part of the 24/25 Lexus Broadway In Boston Season. 

The producers of the brand new musical HERE & NOW, presented by UK pop sensation, Steps, have announced the full cast. Learn more about the cast here!

The full cast has been set for the North American tour of & Juliet! The tour will begin performances September 22, 2024 in Baltimore, MD. Learn more about the full cast here!

After thrilling audiences at the Shaftesbury Theatre in London’s West End from 2019-2023,  & JULIET is on a UK and Ireland tour, visiting Manchester, Southampton, Edinburgh, Liverpool, Birmingham, Cardiff, Nottingham, Leeds and more. Check out all new video clips here!

The show is in itself show-stopping. The cast of accomplished triple-threats swaps tense competition for a jubilant celebration of form. In a post-pandemic industry that’s suffered cuts to the arts across all areas, it’s disheartening to see an artist’s quality of life hasn’t exactly progressed much. But, gosh, they make it look so beautiful.

Drew Gehling is set to join the company of the hit musical & Juliet in the role of 'Shakespeare' next month! He will begin performances on August 16, 2024.

Andrew Lloyd Webber has revealed that he hopes to bring his new production of Starlight Express north of London in the future. Learn more here!

Andrew Lloyd Webber's STARLIGHT EXPRESS - which opened this weekend at the Troubadour Wembley Park Theatre to huge critical acclaim across the media - has extended booking through to June 2025.

Andrew Lloyd Webber's Starlight Express is possibly one of the world's most bizarre musicals-yes, even more so than Cats. A child's dream-like world where trains compete for races and for each other, all set on roller skates. And yet, this 1984 musical's latest revival will make a new generation fall in love with this loud, bright and captivating production.
