& Juliet Shaftesbury Theatre tickets: characters you know, an ending you don't!
Do you believe in life after Romeo? & Juliet tickets are the perfect way to experience something new and familiar all at the same time-- We all know the story of Romeo and Juliet, star crossed lovers from warring families who are undeniably drawn to each other. Theirs is a love story for the ages and a tragedy unlike any other but what if we could rewrite the final scene? What if Juliet put the dagger down and decided to take a girls trip instead? In this irreverent rewrite that's exactly what happens.
When Juliet wakes up instead of a dagger to the heart she gathers Nurse and her best girlfriends and heads to the city of lights. And Juliet sets off to prove that she is the author of her own story and that there is life, and love, after Romeo. This wild new musical features the back catalogue of Swedish songwriter Max Martin with pop anthems that you'll love hearing in a completely different way. Songs like 'Baby One More Time', 'Love Me Like You Do', 'Can't Feel My Face' 'Break Free', and 'Everybody'.
& Juliet is now playing at the West End's Shaftesbury Theatre! Juliet strikes out on her own journey of healing, romance and self-discovery in the City of Lights, just in time for Christmas in London.
Who is involved in the & Juliet creative team?
This daring new musical has a creative team to die for! & Juliet uses the back catalogue of Swedish songwriter Max Martin.
