With a book by Emmy-winning writer of the quirky comedy series, Schitt鈥檚 Creek, and聽featuring the repurposed songs from phenomenal pop-hit guru, Max Martin, the聽success of & Juliet is virtually guaranteed. However, the show itself may not be as聽predictable as you think.
The premise works backwards from the unhappy ending of Shakespeare鈥檚 tale and聽asks: what if Juliet didn鈥檛 drink the vial of poison? What if, instead of giving her life for聽Romeo, she took it back and lived it herself on her own terms?
It鈥檚 a story for now, and it explores themes of independence, reawakening, identity聽and love in all its glory and complexity.聽One of the biggest hype factors of this musical is the inclusion of some of the聽greatest pop hits of the last three decades, penned by Swedish super
songwriter/producer Max Martin.
Despite their strong association with pop stars聽such as Britney Spears, The Backstreet Boys, Kelly Clarkson, Katy Perry among聽many other major stars, the songs fit seamlessly into the plot of & Juliet.
The Australian cast for & Juliet is representative of the platinum-level talent we have聽here. Featuring Lorinda May Merrypor, Blake Appelqvist, Rob Mills, Amy Lehpamer,聽Casey Donovan, and Hayden Tee.
