Broadway Across Canada has announced that tickets for & Juliet will go on sale this week for eight performances this fall in Vancouver at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre. 

Broadway Across Canada announced tickets for the North American tour of & JULIET will go on sale for an Edmonton engagement at the Northern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium.

Written by Emmy-winning Schitt’s Creek writer David West Read, the musical flips the script on Romeo and Juliet by allowing Juliet to continue her story after Romeo’s death.

The North American Tour of & Juliet, starring *NSYNC's Joey Fatone as 'Lance,' will play an exclusive limited engagement in Chicago this summer. Tickets to the tour stop are on sale now.

& JULIET will play the Broadway in Birmingham series at BJCC Concert Hall. The North American tour features songs by Max Martin. The musical reimagines Juliet’s story.

Pop music superstar Joey Fatone is joining the North American Tour company of & Juliet, reprising the role of ‘Lance’ following his recent Broadway run. Fatone will join the touring cast for an engagement when the show plays The Bushnell in Hartford.

What did our critic think of & JULIET at National Arts Centre?

&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.

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.

*NSYNC's Joey Fatone, currently playing Lance in the & Juliet national tour's Orlando stop, sings a Backstreet Boys song at the show's soundcheck in a new video.

Pop icon Joey Fatone received a 20-second ovation on his first entrance after joining the North American tour of & JULIET, reprising the role of Lance following his recent Broadway run. Watch the video of his first entrace below!

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.

Joey Fatone will join the North American Tour company of & Juliet, reprising the role of ‘Lance’ following his recent Broadway run. Fatone will join the touring cast for an exclusive engagement in his hometown when the show plays Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts in Orlando, FL.

'For never was a story of more woe than this of Juliet and her Romeo.' It's a classic tale, one that has been told hundreds of thousands of times and one that theatre kids everywhere know well. But you likely have not seen Romeo and Juliet quite like this. The costumes are vibrant, the choreography is exhilirating, the voices are powerful, and the story... there is quite the twist in the story. 

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!

New principal casting for the North American tour of Broadway’s hit musical, & JULIET, has been announced. This production will kick off the 25–26 BROADWAY IN TOLEDO Series.

& JULIET, playing at Broadway in Tucson, is a lively jukebox musical stuffed to the brim with charm. Shakespeare and his wife Anne have a little disagreement over the ending of ROMEO AND JULIET.

“& JULIET,” the pop-fueled musical now shaking up Broadway, San Diego is a jukebox joyride for anyone raised on TRL, Glee, and pure glittery empowerment.

What did our critic think of & JULIET AT BROADWAY SAN JOSE NOW THRU OCTOBER 12 at Broadway San Jose? Playing now through October 12 at Broadway San Jose, & Juliet is a much-needed confection of mayhem, laughter and empowerment all delivered by one of the most professional casts and creative teams I've seen in a long time.

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. In 2023, it was nominated for nine Tony Awards, including Best Musical. It continues to be a fan favorite, and rightfully so. A fresh adaptation of one of the Bard’s most famous works set to a soundtrack of Max Martin’s 90’s and 2000’s pop hits? Yes, please.
