“This Shakespearean Jukebox musical is like a shot of pure gold!” – Variety

When we say that Shakespear is not too happy about this one it’s because his masterpiece has been given a great new rendition. In this riveting story, Romeo and Juliet fall to a tragic ending, but things take a turn when Juliet decides that she wanted to live. So instead of taking her life upon discovering Romeo has died, she went on to live her life. Juliet discovers new things about Romeo, such as his myriad of relationships with both men and women. Meanwhile, she also finds new friends and discovers a new love interest. This whole time, our heroine tries to find her happiness and make way for interesting things she missed out on when she was so madly in love with Romeo. Now she’s on a new journey as an independent girl, ditching the highly notorious ending that Shakespear has written for her. Just as things begin to become better for Juliet, a jaw dropping surprise comes to stir things up. Will Juliet find her forever after in this particular epic? Well, discover all the possibilities when you experience the fantastic production of &Juliet at the Ohio Theatre in Columbus!

&Juliet comes to life through the amazing storyline by David West Read, who’s incredible work with Schitt’s Creek has made him one of the most esteemed playwrights in the circuit. The jukebox epic also brings over 20 massive pop hits courtesy of the “Shakespear of the modern era,” Max Martin. Viewers will be energized with infectious pop and rock numbers like Bon Jovi’s “It’s My LIfe,” Backstreet Boys’ “I Want It That Way,” Nsync’s “It’s Gonna Be Me,” Britney Spear’s “Stronger,” Demi Lovato’s “Confident,” and so much more.

The top calibre production is led by award-winning director Luke Sheppard and choreographer Jennifer Webber. The stagecraft of this presentation features the astounding work of designers including Soutra Gilmour on set design, Paloma Young on costume, Howard Hudson on lighting, and Tony Award-winner Gareth Owen on sound. The musical also showcases remarkable work by orchestrators Bill Sherman and Dominic Fallacaro.

Premiering in Manchester, &Juliet began with a major West End production in 2019. The magnificent storyline, stagecraft, music, were a certified hit. Hence, the jukebox musical bagged tons of prestigious accolades, including winning three Olivier Awards out of nine nominations. The show also secured the “Spectacular Set” at the Mousetrap Awards. 

In 2022, &Juliet finally opened on Broadway and was so well-recieved by U.S. audiences that the musical bagged a whopping nine Tony nominations, including Best Musical in 2023. In the same year, the production also secured several prestigious nominations including two Drama Desk Awards, six Outer Critics Circle Award, and two Chita Rivera Awards.

When Shakespear – one of the greatest playwrights who ever lived – goes pop, surely critics will be all over this epic! But thanks to Read’s great combination of compelling story with excellent humor, the musical has garnered tons of glowing reviews even from the most hard to please critics in the circuit. “There’s something a little relentless about & Juliet’s dogged eagerness to entertain, but nakedly joyful too: a star-crossed night of violent delights, flipped for the TikTok era,” said Entertainment Weekly.
