Oops!... They did it again… and now they’re coming right to your doorstep with the most sizzling high-energy production you’ve ever experienced!
The world’s most famous love story has received a brand new inspiring and unexpected message: “my loneliness ain’t killing me no more”, and is following an interesting alternative storyline, as written by David West Read.
At the centre of it all, is the fantastic music of the pop powerhouse, Max Martin. If you don’t instantly tap your toes or belt along to the songs, covering anything and everything from ‘Larger Than Life’ and ‘I Want It That Way’ to ‘...Baby One More Time’ and ‘I Kissed a Girl’, we’d have to pose the question whether you’ve been anywhere near earth in the past few decades.
Apart from this, ‘& Juliet’ is bursting at the seams with chemistry that oozes from the stellar cast into the audience, inclusivity like you’ve seldom experienced before, creative and potent arrangements of the music that everybody knows and loves, and of course, special effects that will make your head spin, brilliant lighting, colourful sets, thrilling choreography, and hilariously hybrid Elizabethan costumes. As a whole, ‘& Juliet’ is the perfect amalgamation of 16th Century and modern styles, wonderfully original, high-spirited, and an immense load of fun!
When ‘& Juliet’ premiered on the West End in 2019, audiences and critics alike were left speechless by the chunky, hooky, belty, dancy, and super-poppy musical.
The production won three Laurence Olivier Awards, as well as a record-breaking 13 WhatsOnStage Awards-nominations, of which they took home six.
Now, finally, ‘& Juliet’ is coming to town, and you don’t even have to travel far to catch it live! The venue sports breathtaking decor, the best lighting and sound equipment, comfortable seating spread across various levels, all facilities you could possibly need, crystal-clear sight-lines, and helpful staff with your comfort at heart, so get ready for an unparalleled night at the theatre!
So, get clicking on that ‘Get Tickets’ button right now and scoop up those tickets before they’re all gone! Come on, you know you ‘want it that way’!
