& Juliet

& Juliet – Jukebox fun transforms a classic Shakespeare tale

William Shakespeare adored the story of the star-crossed Montague and Capulet teenagers and their doomed love. West Side Story, the musical, was inspired by the same ancient tale. Now there's a brand new jukebox musical in the breeze, and it takes the story of Juliet to an entirely new place. What might happen if Juliet didn't die after all, but survived Romeo's death? What would she do? Would she flee to Paris, surrounded by her best and most loyal friends? This fresh musical tells an alternative tale, and it's due in theatreland for autumn 2019.

One of the biggest of several mysteries surrounding this show is the fact that it premieres at a massive venue – Manchester Opera House – then transfers to another truly huge venue, the Shaftesbury theatre in the West End. It's unusual for an unknown show to book itself into such large venues. Is it a mere mark of confidence or a hint that something very special is about to happen, something that will see thousands of us fighting for tickets? The truth is, we don't know yet. Nor does anyone else. But there's nothing quite so much fun as a mystery... watch this space!

In Love With Shakespeare
This is pure magic, pure fun, a great message of empowerment and truly how a jukebox musical should be done. It’s funny and moving and silly and something everyone can enjoy. So energetic and electric from start to finish. Powerhouse vocals and performances. Take notes other jukeboxes! This is how town integrate songs into a show.

. energetic
A really energetic show, but the story could have been a stronger. The shows staging was really good and it was great energy. Was a little bit like a Pantomime which isn't my style.
Michelle, 15 Feb 2023
Unexpected pleasure
Not knowing what the show was about I was extremely surprised with how much I enjoyed it . I was a bit confused at the beginning with the actors on stage “fixing props” but once the lights went out and show was under way it was amazing. Loved the dancing choice of music everything really

Lives up to the 5 star reviews
Excellent from beginning to end! Fun to hear some pop classics in a new setting. Very clever idea to revisit Shakespeare's work through his wife's eyes. Amazing performances: acting, singing and dancing all mind-blowing. Creative sets,fun & modern twist on tudor costumes, fast-paced show. We loved it! Would recommend to 12-99 year olds.

ROCKING! INSPIRING! THOUGHT PROVOKING!
"& Juliet" is a unique take on a well-known tragedy. Not only does it touch on various social challenges with humor and compassion,but it brilliantly EMPOWERS Juliet and her friends about the right to make choices for oneself! A MUST SEE SHOW!

elaine, 17 Nov 2022
Amazing show - highly recommend!
The show was absolutely amazing, I am a musical lover and was honestly not expecting much from the show other than spending a good night. It was so much more than that: amazing singing, fun story, great music and costumes. I rate it 5 stars !

Great night out
Really loved the story, so many different parts. The singing was amazing, I loved the dancing and choreography. There was so much energy on the stage, and it was well felt by the audience. Every performer on stage played their characters so well, but made it into an intimate feeling performance, with rolls of the eyes, side looks at the audience and general interactions. I really enjoyed myself. Well done to everyone involved. My advice just go with the flow, tap you feet, clap to the beat, and dance if you feel like it. However there are a few swear words in it,(just in case you dislike that kind of thing). I personally can not recommend the show enough. Great day out.
Stacee, 11 Nov 2022
Colourful and Talented
Great and talented cast of actors. They had us on our feet in the end. Engaged from start to end with so many twists and fun plots.

Sarah, 14 Oct 2022
For a fun night out
Nice revisit of Romeo & Julie, full of surprises. Great acting & music, lots of energy on stage.
Celine, 08 Oct 2022
LOVED this show (and I am not a lover of musicals!)
From the actors/singers and set to the orchestra and direction, the whole production was fantastic. I laughed, cried, shouted, sang and could have watched the whole thing over again the next evening. Poignant, funny, topical. The choice of songs were brilliant and the singing superb.
Sinead, 05 Oct 2022
Exceptional

Interesting Twist to a Familiar Story
This was a clever retelling and expansion of the Romeo and Juliet story, with creative input from Shakespeare’s wife, Anne Hathaway. It included fun adaptations of some familiar pop songs. However, the music was frequently too loud for these 70-year-old ears, and the lighting, although skillful and varied, was uncomfortable when directed at the audience. In the end, the story of women’s empowerment was one of the play’s strongest points.
Frederick, 20 Sep 2022
Creative
Really worth a watch, well written and performed. Excellent.
Wendy, 17 Sep 2022

Most uplifting musical
What an uplifting, empowering musical. Went with my daughter and granddaughter and we all absolutely loved it. The singing and acting was fantastic and the interaction with the audience was also good. Will definitely go and see it again.

Creative and feel good!
I loved the show. The costumes are beautiful and every single song is iconic. I really recommend everyone to see the show!
Clemence, 09 Aug 2022
Modern twist on a well worn story
Great show. Maybe a little too modern and noisy for OAP type theatre goers.
LEE, 21 Jul 2022
fantastic night of fun
A great production with lots of fun characters, set, costumes and music that will get you up dancing.
Claire, 17 Jul 2022
Sensational
The best Show I have ever been too. Soooo much energy. Music was fantastic with and incredibly talented cast. Would not hesitate to go back to it again. Absolutely loved it.
Deirdre, 12 Jul 2022
Some modern and historical camp
This must have been one of the campest musicals I have seen. From the way they open to the way they make you cry and then snap your fingers. I loved it!
Giel, 08 Jul 2022
Brilliant
Royal balcony centre seats were really good view of stage. Everything about the show itself was excellent. Would go again
Penelope, 24 Jun 2022

Fantastisch
Mooie show met een goed verhaal.
Herman, 17 Jun 2022
Feel musical
Message is as shallow as the pond in st James park, but When you need an impeccable feel good show with great music and performace this is it.
Hans, 16 Jun 2022
Excellent performances but poor storylines
This wasn't quite what I expected. A lot of outdated pop tunes, sung REALLY well with brilliant dancing but with zero thought put into the storyline. Could have been a really good feminist lesson but fell short.
Kiren, 06 Jun 2022
Cheesy pop songs, very energetic, one for the ladies
Overall a good performance ? the songs blend well although a little cheesy. Not really a man's show, certainly the ladies love it. Personally I felt the lead role of juliet was badly cast as the lady who plays her is very talented and gave an amazing performance, I felt she was to manly and not lady like at all in both looks and personality and tbh the character May was more feminine. Having juliet with a flat top hair cut looking like grace Jones as bond badie meant I really couldn't by into the story line. Maybe if juliet started with a long wig and wavy dress then transforms it will make sense. I guess want it that way!
Paul, 29 May 2022
Simply delightful and wonderful

Víctor, 29 May 2022

Elaine, 24 May 2022
A Great Musical
It was an excellent idea to rewrite a classic play of William Shakespeare. The story was easy to watch with a lot of funny surprises. Music and dancing were very professionally performed. All the leading singers were world class. We really loved it.
Pertti, 08 May 2022
Modern
Super positive, funny, modern in a positive way. All music is very well known songs from Britney Spears etc
elina, 23 Apr 2022

Good music. Fun to singalong. Got upgraded to stalls as it wasn't so busy on a weekday. Theatre staff incredibly friendly as well
Amandeep, 05 Mar 2022
Excellent,!!!!
Amazing show. Highly recommend it
Gerlinde, 04 Mar 2022
Very relevant to 2022
Such a great adaptation of a classic , very relevant to the LGBT & Equality movements. Music relevant to anyone between the age of 20-40 year old. I would go back with friends and my children but don’t think my parents would relate or enjoy
Laura, 27 Feb 2022
Music & performance strong. Story not so great
The musicians and singers were all excellent. Powerful voices that really made the songs come alive. Enjoyed the fun and gags included. Storyline weak and trying to make everyone happy by covering as many types of discrimination in the show but otherwise enjoyed the experience.
Sara, 16 Feb 2022
fabulous show
Excellent show with good music
DENISE, 29 Jan 2022
Brilliant
A brilliant show, a must see!
Roisin, 01 Jan 2022
Groundbreaking Show
The show was fantastic. A groundbreaking story that leaves you wondering until the end what twist it will take. I took my 2 teenage daughters that would both love to be dancers and they both laughed and cried at this story. The way topical subjects such as gender equality, same sex marriage and empowerment for women was really well incorporated. We knew every song, which were modern pop songs and fitted really well with the scenes. Shakespeare and Anne Hathaway narrating and ‘writing’ the story as it evolves was very clever and knitted it all together perfectly. Would recommend to anyone other than those with young children as I think the discreet messaging and the general story would be lost on them, for everyone else I’d say this was the best show I’ve seen.
Adam, 19 Dec 2021
Outstanding
