Never was there a story of more woe, or more romance, than the Bard's timeless tale of two young lovers from warring families. As the Montagues and Capulets are torn apart by ideology and simmering violence spills into the streets of the border town of Verona, Romeo and Juliet dare to defy a world determined to keep them apart. In this bold new staging, the play unfolds in English, but Romeo and Juliet speak to one another in Spanish, a language reserved only for their shared world.

FEATURED REVIEWS FOR Romeo and Juliet

'Romeo & Juliet' Off-Broadway review — a star-crossed love story on the border

From: New York Theatre Guide By: Amelia Merrill Date: 2026-06-12

8 / 10

Also baffling are the choice to take the intermission after Romeo and Juliet's wedding (rather than after Tybalt and Mercutio’s murders) and the music by Michael Thurber, used so sparingly that you may forget the previous tune by the time the next one rolls around. The high note of this production is the cast: Deirdre O’Connell’s acerbic Nurse, spewing fire in a lilt; LaChanze doling out motherly advice with equal parts charm and heart as Lady Capulet; the title lovers, played by Daniel Bravo Hernández and Ra’mya Latiah Aikens with an antsy giddiness that makes them appear relaxed in such loaded roles.

Free Shakespeare in the Park’s ‘Romeo & Juliet’ loses its passion chasing politics

From: 1 Minute Critic By: Emily Chackerian Date: 2026-06-12

4 / 10

Unfortunately, the modern twist unnecessarily complicates and feels almost incompatible with Shakespeare’s text. There is little to the production that explains precisely why Romeo and Juliet are starcrossed, or where the animosity between their families arises from, especially because it is only Tybalt who seems to genuinely dislike Romeo.
