The cast, crew, and production team of ‘& Juliet’ is back at it, and bringing their ‘larger than life’ production to you… baby one more time!
The greatest love story ever told has gotten a slight contemporary twist, at the hands of the David West Read.
At the core of it all, is the brilliant music of the pop powerhouse, Max Martin. If you’ve been anywhere near Planet Earth in the last couple of decades, you’d recognize them all - from Britney Spears’ bangers to The Backstreet Boys’ smashers, from Katy Perry’s toe-tappers to ’It’s Gonna Be Me’ and ‘It’s My Life’.
Apart from this, ‘& Juliet’ is bursting at the seams with chemistry that oozes from the highly talented cast into the audience, inclusivity like you’ve seldom experienced before, creative and effective arrangements of the music that was the soundtrack to countless lives, and of course, captivating special effects and visuals, dazzling lighting, delightful sets, tight choreography, and creative Elizabethan-meets-21st Century costumes. As a whole, ‘& Juliet’ is hovering somewhere in between the 16th Century and the modern age, spectacularly original, high-spirited, and loads of fun!
’& Juliet’ premiered in the Manchester Opera House in 2019 before moving to the West End, sending the West End into a flat spin.
The production scooped up three Laurence Olivier Awards, as well as six WhatsOnStage Awards.
Now, finally, ‘& Juliet’ is coming to Des Moines, and you can literally walk to the Des Moines Civic Center to catch it live, in person! The venue sports amazing decor, top-tier lighting and sound equipment, comfortable seating spread across various levels, top-notch facilities, impeccable sight-lines, and helpful staff with your comfort at heart, so get ready for one killer of a night at the theatre!
So, scooch on over to that ‘Get Tickets’ section right now and scoop up those tickets before they’re all sold-out! Come on, you know you ‘want it that way’!
