What If Shakespeare’s Juliet Got A Second Shot? New Broadway Musical ‘& Juliet’ Explores Life After Romeo

When David West Read, the Emmy-winning writer of Schitt’s Creek, pitched a new musical to songwriting guru Max Martin, the force behind mega hits like Katy Perry’s “Roar” and Britney Spears’ “…Baby One More Time,” he had an idea to turn a Shakespeare classic on its head.

Executive produced on Broadway by Eva Price, the & Juliet cast includes Lorna Courtney as Juliet, Betsy Wolfe as Anne Hathaway, Paulo Szot, Stark Sands, Justin David Sullivan, Melanie La Barrie, Ben Jackson Walker and Philippe Arroyo. Fifteen members of the 25-person company will make their Broadway debut with & Juliet.
