Program: & Juliet (musical) by Max Martin / David West Read.
& Juliet flips Shakespeare's most famous tragedy on its head with a joyful 'what if?' premise: What if Juliet didn't die at the end of Romeo and Juliet? This Tony Award-nominated musical reimagines the Bard's heroine as she discovers her own voice and embarks on a journey of self-discovery through Renaissance Europe. Created by David West Read with a book that cleverly weaves together pop anthems from legendary songwriter Max Martin, the show transforms hits by Britney Spears, Backstreet Boys, Katy Perry, and more into a surprisingly cohesive narrative about female empowerment, friendship, and finding your own path.
Expect an exuberant celebration that balances Shakespearean wit with contemporary pop sensibilities. The musical delivers high-energy dance numbers, stunning period costumes with modern twists, and powerhouse vocals that bring new meaning to familiar chart-toppers. While the premise might sound irreverent, the show treats both Shakespeare's legacy and Martin's catalog with genuine respect, creating something that appeals to musical theatre veterans and pop music fans alike. It's particularly wonderful for audiences who enjoy clever wordplay, spectacular choreography, and stories about women claiming agency over their own narratives.
This national tour brings the Broadway production's full spectacle to cities across America, from Chicago's historic Auditorium Theatre to intimate venues like Tennessee Theatre in Knoxville. Each stop promises the same lavish production values that made the show a hit on both Broadway and the West End, with touring-specific staging that adapts seamlessly to different theater configurations. The tour represents a chance for audiences nationwide to experience this fresh take on timeless themes without traveling to New York.
