Get *Romeo + Juliet* tickets and see two of today’s rising young stars take on William Shakespeare’s most famous, and doomed, couple: Kit Connor and Rachel Zegler make their Broadway debuts in this new adaptation of the classic. Tony Award winner Sam Gold (*Fun Home*) directs, and it’s not the first time he’s brought a Shakespeare tragedy to Broadway: his other star-studded productions include *Macbeth* with Daniel Craig and Ruth Negga and *King Lear* with Glenda Jackson. Now, he directs a new version of the timeless tale playing for a strictly limited engagement.

Experience *Romeo + Juliet* on Broadway. You’ve heard the story before, but never quite like this, and that’s because this new version features a musical score by Grammy Award winner Jack Antonoff (member of Bleachers, formerly of Fun, and co-writer with pop artists including Lorde, Taylor Swift, and Lana Del Rey). Screen stars Connor (*Heartstopper*) and Zegler (*West Side Story*) will also dance in this fresh adaptation, bringing electricity to the story, with movement by Tony Award winner Sonya Tayeh (*Moulin Rouge!*). 

One of Shakepeare’s most produced works and the basis for innumerable adaptations (including the musical *West Side Story*, whose Stephen Spielberg film remake made Zegler a star), *Romeo + Juliet* follows the titular lovers as they meet and romance despite coming from feuding families in fair Verona. Lust and love, blood and battles ensue, culminating in an inevitable and tragic ending. As the tagline for the show says, “The youth are f---ed,” so get ready for a contemporary and colorful rendition of this centuries-old and highly universal play. Buckle up: this *Romeo + Juliet*, a unique adaptation only on Broadway for a limited time, promises to thrill. Tickets to *Romeo + Juliet* are available now.

Romeo + Juliet - NYTG

See *Romeo + Juliet* play on Broadway this fall with Kit Connor and Rachel Zegler as the star-crossed lovers. Tony Award winner Sam Gold directs *Romeo + Juliet* in New York in a new adaptation with music by Jack Antonoff.

*Romeo and Juliet* has had many lives: there have been multiple films and various Broadway revivals, but also fresh adaptations for the stage, including the musical *West Side Story* and, now on Broadway, [*& Juliet*](https://www.todaytix.com/nyc/shows/25598-and-juliet-on-broadway), which imagines a different ending to the classic tale. Now, a new production featuring music by Jack Antonoff comes to the Great White Way. 

Stage and screen stars have long sought to play the title roles in Shakespeare’s famous drama, with a previous Broadway production casting Orlando Bloom and Condola Rashad. Kit Connor and Rachel Zegler, known for playing lovestruck youths in *West Side Story* and *Heartstopper*, now get the chance to tackle these meaty roles in *Romeo + Juliet* in New York. The timeless story of love and hate has endured for centuries and seems to never go out of style even as the world evolves: countries still war, families hold prejudices, and there is always a form of love deemed taboo.

## What to watch for

- A musical adaptation calls for dancing, and choreographer Sonya Tayeh (a Tony Award winner for [*Moulin Rouge!*](https://www.todaytix.com/nyc/shows/15911-moulin-rouge-the-musical)) is the play’s movement director.
- This is not Sam Gold’s first Shakespeare production on Broadway: he previously directed *Macbeth* with Daniel Craig and Ruth Negga and *King Lear* with Glenda Jackson
- Many actresses have played Juliet, and many have sung as Maria, her *West Side Story* counterpart, but few have played both, and no one besides Rachel Zegler on such a Hollywood and Broadway scale: the stars aligning makes for a very exciting Broadway debut for the young actress.
- The show’s marketing and social media presence are bringing a contemporary energy to the centuries-old story: the tagline, after all, is “The youth are f–ked.”

Circle In The Square Theater

Designed by Alan Sayles, the Circle in the Square Theatre (along with its much larger sibling, the [Gershwin Theatre](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/theatres/gershwin-theatre)) is inside the confines of the Paramount Plaza office tower. The Circle in the Square Theatre was built in 1970 as the Uris Brothers tore down the former Capitol Theatre in order to construct the tower.

The current Broadway theatre is the successor of a same-named Off-Broadway theatre, which operated from 1950 to 1995 at multiple locations in Greenwich Village. The Circle in the Square repertory company staged its first Broadway production — a revival of *Mourning Becomes Electra* — at its current venue on November 15, 1972.

The venue is one of the smallest and most intimate spaces on Broadway. Productions are generally staged in the round, as audiences are seated on three sides of the stage. The theatre is also associated with the Circle in the Square Theatre School, the only accredited drama school attached to a Broadway house.

## How to get to the Circle in the Square Theatre on Broadway

The Circle in the Square Theatre is accessible by subway, with the closest stop being 50th St. on the C or E line. The 50th St. stop on the 1 line is also nearby. The closest bus stop to the theatre is 8th Ave/W 50th St. on the M50 line.
