Created by the Emmy®-winning writer from "Schitt's Creek," this hilarious new musical flips the script on the greatest love story ever told. & Juliet asks: what would happen next 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. Break free of the balcony scene and get into this romantic comedy that proves there's life after Romeo. The only thing tragic would be missing it.
Lively engaging and fun. Great performance overall
So clever the script, dialogue, and weaving of the music. Encouraged audience participation before play even started. Very high energy. Would see it again.
This show is colorful, creative, funny and the modern music incorporation into dialogue was perfect.
The cast was very talented and had high energy throughout. Very interesting story with some twists and turns along the way. Music by popular artists added to the experience. Highly recommend.
it was good, but I was expecting more from the story line with Juliet and less from the supporting characters. Still entertaining and good music but not in my top 3
Fantastic! Just saw this last night at ASU Gammage and booked again for Sunday. The story, modern weave of pop music fit perfectly, great acting and vibrant costumes & set. So good I was slapping my knee and crying!!!!
I took myself and my 12-year-old daughter to see the show. It was full of 90s and 2000s music, a lot of Backstreet Boys and Britney Spears. The way that they worked it into the show was truly magical. The show was hilarious with most of the moments, keeping my daughter and I cracking up. The show ended with a full dance party from the audience. What a fun, amazing show and such a talented cast!
I had no idea & Juliet was going to be this amazing! The performers, the music, the dancing and the story were so great! I had goose bumps so many times. Amazing talent from everyone, even behind the scenes. I was so happy to see the musicians come out after as well!
& Juliet is my new fave! Was so excited that it came to town! Fun from start to finish! Amazing cast, just such a great performance!
It was OK. Clever in parts. Funny in parts. But overall underwhelming. Costumes were fantastic. Acting was fine. Singing felt a bit like good karaoke.
Romeo & Juliet with great laughs and some incredible music. A must see!
I'm not the type of person that prefer jukebox musicals. But I'd say I really ejoyed &juliet. It is among one of the best jukebox musicals and definately worth seeing. The songs and story goes together very organically. The meta elements gave the storyline very delightful depth and help this "classic story"blend in pop song so well. And the story itself stands well and smart with discussions of modern issues but keep the atmosphere light and fun. The 25 US tour cast is amazing. Everyone is alsome and I specilally love Juliet and May.
Loved it, loved it, loved it!!! Dancing was superb, singing was wonderful, the storyline was funny and fun, and the music was over the top. An inspiring show. Thank you!
We had no idea what this was going to be. We were so pleasantly surprised by the incredibly creative storyline meshed with super music and powerful voices. Such a feel good show and one that I would see again!
Nice twist on the original...great music, terrific performers, good laughs, standing ovation for these wonderful actors & singers.
Rewrite the end of Romeo and Juliet. Using current music and humor. Very well written.
I was unfamiliar with the musical, but in preparation, l listened to the soundtrack track…several times…loved the music! The song choices were perfectly placed. It was better than a concert! Every voice was strong. It was one of my favorite theater experiences. (And I don’t love them all…ie, Cats) I do not understand the negative reviews. It was a perfect escape from the political climate today.
My husband and I were looking forward to this show but it was a huge disappointment. We left at intermission. The songs were a repetitive Brittany Spears song. A couple if other predictable pop songs then Brittany again! The dancing was basic and the sound quality was awful. I also could not see the stage because of the man’s head in front of me. We had row Y orchestra aisle seats. The angle was awful and I kept having to move left and right to see. I finally gave up and waited until intermission to leave. My husband was not disappointed missing the second half! I have seen many broadway shows and this was the worst one ever. Don’t waste your money on this show.
Lots of music, great girl power! Fun time, took my teen daughter and she enjoyed it as well!!
A fun evening with fantastic cast, fun story and great music!
