The story of & Juliet 

Why take a dagger to the heart when you can take a trip out of town? Juliet wakes with a new lease of life coursing through her veins. Ready to dance the night away and prioritise her own happiness, she rounds up her group of best girlfriends along with Nurse and heads to the city of lights to pursue a destiny that doesn't end with Romeo. 

This one-of-a-kind musical features songs written by Swedish songwriter Max Martin. Martin has collaborated with a host of pop royalty, crafting hits such as ‘Baby One More Time’, ‘Love Me Like You Do’, ‘Can’t Feel My Face’, ‘Break Free’ and ‘Everybody’.

I truly believe that there is magic in seeing a story brought to life on stage, and this is what I would like to promote to audiences.
