Romeo and Juliet - - Broadway Articles Page 19

The winter offering of Synetic Theater is a grand story chronicled by Roman historians and subsequently immortalized by Shakespeare. A tale of sweeping grandeur, power plays, alliances, nations conquered, unseemly lustful urges, and betrayal. Now let’s portray all that using only sight, sound, and movement. Get ready for something completely different…”Antony and Cleopatra.” It is simply put, a spectacle.

More of a drama with sung interludes than a full-blown musical, The Outsiders is an outstanding production. Relying on a minimalist stage, dark lighting, and choreography, the ensemble is given a wide berth to perform.

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.
