When is & Juliet coming to the West End?

The exciting new musical that myself and many others, who have been lucky enough to follow the & Juliet journey from the workshop stage and through rehearsals, have been raving about is set to open in the West End. It was first teased to the public at West End Live in the summer before it headed up to Manchester for its premiere. It is currently still playing at Manchester’s Opera House which is where these gorgeous production shots were taken. There’s just a month to wait until this classic Shakespearean tragedy turned upbeat pop musical comes to the West End’s Shaftesbury Theatre, with previews beginning on 2 November.

What is & Juliet?

You’ve heard of Romeo & Juliet (everyone’s heard of Shakespeare’s most popular play!) and everyone knows their story. Well, this isn’t their story anymore! Get ready for an epic twist that tells you all about Juliet’s story. Watch her life after “death” journey, as she discards the dagger and, sorry William S, but she doesn’t kill herself for your tragic ending. This is just Juliet’s beginning and this incredible musical, with the phenomenal songs from the legendary Max Martin, lets this girl ROAR. You won’t want to miss this ballad of girl power, friendship and, of course, love. Read here for more reasons why you should be excited for & Juliet.
