The stars of screen and stage align as Orlando Bloom (Pirates of the Caribbean) and Tony Award Nominee Condola Rashad (Stick Fly) take on the roles of Shakespeare’s legendary star-crossed lovers, ROMEO AND JULIET.
The most famous love story ever told returns to Broadway for the first time in 36 years in a stunning new production from five-time Tony nominee David Leveaux. Jealousy. Prejudice. Betrayal. And the chance that true love could actually conquer all. That’s Romeo and Juliet.
When you get to the theater, make sure to share the love! Patrons are encouraged to bring locks to hang on our #RJLOVELOCK fence outside of our theater. Patrons can also check into ROMEO AND JULIET on Broadway on Facebook and receive a free lock from the merchandise stand.

Theater Reviews: Romeo and Juliet and Women or Nothing
5 / 10
In the absence of all suspense - though not of pacing, which is fairly fleet, almost brisk - the show is taken over by spotlight supporting roles, most notably Jayne Houdyshell, who steals the show as Juliet's nurse. Houdyshell is, of course, a brilliant stage performer, but when the Nurse runs off with yourR&J, chances are it wasn't secured properly in the first place. Mercutio's another matter: As the only brilliant person in this rather dull crew of partisans, prigs and puppy-lovers - and thus the only crazy person, as well - he's designed to walk away with the whole shootin' match. Christian Camargo doesn't disappoint: A skinny-jeaned, leather-jacketed apparition, he's like some Billyburg poseur driven mad by the dawning recognition of his waning powers of bullshit. As a verbal duelist, Camargo's the very butcher of a silk button - he speaks in short stabbing motions, milks nothing, hits everything, jumps back before he's worn out his welcome.
'Romeo and Juliet' review: Not in Bloom
5 / 10
Alas, these lovers are not just star-crossed but so mismatched that they could be from different galaxies in director David Leveaux's busy-with-brainstorms but broad and surprisingly unmoving production. Bloom -- more famously the elf prince and a Caribbean pirate -- makes a dashing, appealing, if not exactly youthful Romeo. He has a flashy entrance in ripped jeans on a motorcycle that, ask not why, is never seen again and he catapults from a playful romantic to a doomed one with a winning grace. It hurts to have to say this, but Rashad -- who has much-deserved Tony nominations for 'Stick Fly' and 'The Trip to Bountiful' -- is not a natural Shakespearean. Her voice has little variety, and she basically has two expressions -- happy and n
