In the & Juliet musical, Shakespeare’s wife, Anne Hathaway, decides she doesn’t like the ending her husband is writing for Romeo & Juliet, and instead proposes her own. Coming up with the story as she goes along, Hathaway spins an entirely original tale of a Juliet who decides not to kill herself after losing Romeo. Instead, she escapes Verona (against her parents’ wishes) and gathers her friends for a journey of self-discovery to Paris.

& Juliet brings together real-life figures (Shakespeare and Anne), familiar faces from Romeo & Juliet (like the Capulets and the Nurse), and new characters (like Juliet’s friends May, April, and Francois). Together, they bring to life a classic tale for the modern day, with a fresh reimagining of Juliet’s life independent of Romeo.

The & Juliet music also boasts a collection of heavy hitters. The show features the song catalog of Swedish songwriter Max Martin. He’s written or co-written 22 Billboard number 1 hits for pop stars like Katy Perry, Britney Spears, and Kelly Clarkson, so expect to hear all these and more when you see & Juliet in New York.

We’re confident that you’ll have a blast at this fun, feel-good musical people are calling this year’s Mamma Mia! Once you’ve seen & Juliet, you’ll want to see it, baby, one more time (or more). Get tickets to & Juliet on Broadway now.
