The hilarious new musical & Juliet flips the script on the greatest love story ever told and asks: what would happen if Juliet didn’t end it all over Romeo? Get whisked away on a fabulous journey as she ditches her famous ending for a fresh beginning and a second chance at life and love—her way.  

Juliet’s new story bursts to life through a playlist of pop anthems as iconic as her name, including "Since U Been Gone‚" "Roar," "Baby One More Time," "Larger Than Life‚" "That’s The Way It Is," and "Can't Stop the Feeling!"—all from the genius songwriter/producer behind more #1 hits than any other artist this century— Max Martin. Break free of the balcony scene and get into this romantic comedy that proves there is life after Romeo. The only thing tragic would be missing it!

Thomas Floyd in The Washington Post  said, “& Juliet weaves in the hits at its disposal—from the Backstreet Boys, Bon Jovi, Ariana Grande and (Britney) Spears, to name a few—with such sleight of hand

that each tune arrives, not with eye-rolling incredulity, but ‘oh, that’s how they got there’ glee. Along the way, this feminist recasting of Romeo and Juliet concocts a quartet of sweet love stories and shrewdly retcons many a pop standard’s lyrics. (You’ll never hear ‘N Sync’s “It’s Gonna Be Me” the same way again) …there will always be a place for fluffy fun in the musical theater canon, and & Juliet arrives there masterfully. As a Shakespearean remix operating on its own frequency, & Juliet succeeds by turning the Bard’s work into a bona fide bop.”

Christian Lewis in Variety said, & Juliet is “exactly the show Broadway needs right now: fun, exuberant, supremely joyful, hilarious, and excellently performed by a talented and diverse cast. Max Martin’s songs make for a surprisingly fantastic jukebox musical. It’s as if Six, Something Rotten!, Head Over Heels, and Moulin Rouge! all had a baby!”

& Juliet has now been performed on four continents since its World Premiere in September 2019. It began at the Manchester Opera House in England, before moving to London’s West End, where it won three Olivier Awards, and 6 WhatsOnStage Awards before playing its final performance at the Shaftesbury Theatre in March 2023.

The show had its North American premiere in July 2022 in Toronto, where it broke box office records and played to standing-room-only audiences, before heading to Broadway, where it again broke box office records and plays nightly to sold-out crowds.

An Australian production of & Juliet premiered in February 2023 at Melbourne’s Regent Theatre. A UK Tour began in July 2024, and the production made its German premiere in October 2024.

The German production marks the show’s first production with a book translated into a different language, and will also be the sixth country to welcome & Juliet in less than five years.
