& Juliet: Musical Information & Synopsis


Synopsis

& Juliet is a romantic comedy that reimagines Shakespeare’s greatest love story, giving Juliet a second chance to rewrite her famous ending. With a nudge from Shakespeare’s wife, Anne Hathaway, Juliet chooses her own path and sets off on a journey of self-discovery instead of following Romeo in her usual tale of tragedy. Joined by her friends, she begins to write a new script for her life, discovering independence, friendship, and love along the way.
