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.
