Award-winning musical & JULIET to embark on UK tour

After thrilling audiences at the Shaftesbury Theatre in London’s West End from 2019-2023, and on Broadway where it is currently playing at the Stephen Sondheim Theatre, the Olivier and WhatsOnStage Award winning and Tony Award nominated musical & JULIET will embark on a UK tour from 8 July 2024, visiting Manchester, Southampton, Edinburgh, Liverpool, Birmingham, Cardiff, Nottingham, Leeds and more.

Casting is to be announced.

Get whisked away on a fabulous journey as Juliet ditches her famous ending for a fresh beginning and a second chance at life and love—her way. Created by the Emmy-winning writer from Schitt’s Creek, this hilarious new musical flips the script on the greatest love story ever told and asks, what would happen next if Juliet didn’t end it all over Romeo?

Juliet’s new story bursts to life through a playlist of pop anthems as iconic as her name, including Britney Spears’ ‘…Baby One More Time’, Katy Perry’s ‘Roar’ and chart toppers ‘Since U Been Gone’, ‘It’s My Life’, ‘I Want It That Way’, and ‘Can’t Stop the Feeling!’ — all from Max Martin, the genius songwriter/producer behind more #1 hits than any other artist this century, and his collaborators. 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.

& JULIET is directed by Luke Sheppard, with a book by David West Read, choreography by Jennifer Weber, set design by Soutra Gilmour, music by Max Martin & friends, costumes by Paloma Young, musical supervision, orchestration and arrangements by Bill Sherman, lighting by Howard Hudson, sound by Gareth Owen, video & projection design by Andrzej Goulding, musical direction, additional arrangements and orchestrations by Dominic Fallacaro, and casting by Stuart Burt.
