"what if Juliet didn't kill herself?" The Capulet and Montague blood feud continues and escalates into a civil war in Verona

So Juliet just gon’ be out here living her best life...

As an english literature major: Shakespeare could absolutely use a rewrite

Can we just talk about how nice the actress of Juliet’s arms are

I know there is a lot of controversy about this show but from I’ve seen it looks pretty good! Yes its a shame it’s a jukebox musical but I’m pretty sure there is one original song. Ive booked tickets to see it so I’ll edit this comment once I’ve seen it. Xx

I wonder what Shakespeare would think if he could see this 😂

Honestly, I'd die for their version of "Its My Life"

I went mostly out of curiosity and honestly thought it was going to be awful .... but its bloody brilliant its clever it's funny its poignant and it's a bloody good way to spend 2 and a half hours ... left smiling for ear to ear .... deserves to run and run .... just hear her roar

Just went to see it today and i absolutely LOVED IT!! I was kinda sceptical at first cause i was thinking "oh god another jukebox musical" but it was really well put together. They made the songs fit in ways i wouldnt even think of. The story and concept was reallys strong. Also for all the history and english nerds out there it has some hilarious jokes surrounding shakespeare and his writing. The feminism and the inclusivity didnt feel forced and the romance(s) was honestly one of the best ive seen in theatre. The overall aesthetic was gorgeous and not as cringey as its made out to be here. Honestly i think it was bloody brilliant and would definetly recommend

THIS SHOW NEEDS TO COME TO THE US!!!! From the trailer it looks soooo good!!! I'll just be waiting until the soundtrack releases!

Went to see this tonight - one of the BEST things my eyes have had the pleasure of viewing this year. Would go again!

Interesting idea, but did it really have to be a jukebox musical? I feel like there could’ve been more done with this.

To the people complaining its a Jukebox musical, trust me, I was one of you and then I saw it and I can't imagine it with original music, the songs just fit so well and were chosen brilliantly (well except maybe Can't stop the feeling, but its the finale song so It gets a little leeway)

Honestly if you have not seen it go and see it if you can! Hands down one of the best west end shows I have seen. You may not like the idea of a jukebox musical but they fit the songs in so well that its really funny and the set it amazing. You must see

concept: yes jukebox musical: why

Everyone is saying ‘ugh wish it wasn’t a jukebox musical’ but tbh I didn’t mind it, some songs I didn’t know but I knew most and okay I would like to see what songs they could of made but I still really really enjoyed it! Defo reccomend seeing

People are acting like they deliberately stole the songs XD This musical is by Max Martin, who is also the writer for all of the songs used in the musical. So technically, it's original work.

Hi yes, one more for the "if only it wasn't jukebox" count

I went to the opening night. It is by far the BEST show I’ve ever seen! Everything about it is amazing, the actors, the set, the costumes, the music, the list could go on. I would DEFINITELY recommend this show. Keep up the great work 👍

Went to opening night, this show is a fricking gem 💎😭

all I have to say is don’t knock it until you’ve seen it. this show is amazing!!

I guess I’m the only one in the WORLD,,,but I enjoy Jukebox musicals just as much as normal ones. I enjoy listening to songs in a new perspective under someone else’s voice. I think this show is gonna be amazing!

You guys are coming to the US eventually right??? I’m dying to see this

Most people don't know that all these songs were written by Max Martin.

Don't even question going to see this. It was better than I ever could have imagined JUST GO

This reminds me of that fake play in Tootsie "Juliet's nurse" 😂

This is a jukebox musical done ABSOLUTELY RIGHT. 💗

The costumes are gorgeous

Wow! Can't wait to see it in London West End !

Love the idea of it, but I do not like the execution

Why is everyone hating?! haha! It's such an interesting concept for a musical, I get that having it be a jukebox musical is a bit of a downer but the execution of this musical is killer! They add their own spin to the music they use and it seems to work! That ending "Roar" part was amazing!

I heard last week about the Toronto tryout coming up next year. The soundtrack of my childhood with the world’s greatest love story. Sign me up when it goes on US tour

I so want to see this thing reach America here soon. ...if it hasn't already.

This show better come to America 😍😍😍😍😍

I can't wait for the rest of the songs to come out! I'm in LOVE! I think I really want to hurry my visit to London to go see this musical!!

EVERYBODY! I've seen it! It's really good! You genuinely need to see the entire show to judge it! xx

The quality of this just makes me mad we can't actually see stage musicals professionally shot

GUESS WHO'S HYPED

'm definitely not in the demographic for this musical but I loved it: great songs, powerful performances, high energy dancing, clever design and an uplifting female empowerment theme. Also, much appreciated by an oldie like me, wonderful sound quality.

Loved it so much!!! What an awesome idea! 💜🤗

Am I the only one who actually like this? Even though it’s a jukebox musical-

I love this new trend of turning things from the past into musicals!!!! And yes, I know this didn't actually happen, but still!

I have to say, I went to watch this last night, and oh boy how AMAZING is this. It’s so cleverly done and written. I know the songs might be a bit cheesy but they are mostly none to the public. You just can’t hold yourself and not sing them or dance along. I knew probably 90% of the music, and to be honest it’s good well written that you will focus on the lyrics and almost forget who wrote it, because it fits amazing with the story. Do yourself a favour and go and watch this! Thank me later.

This is the very best ! Shaftesbury always go with legendary musicals !

I’m guessing a lot of inspiration has been taken from moulin rouge

Well, it is has peaked my curiosity. Pretty cool.

Saw this yesterday and it was absolutely brilliant, hilarious and proper feel good! See it while you still can!

Yaaay at last !!! Can’t wait to see this in London !!!!

Hamilton: *A N D P E G G Y* JulietMusical: *& Juliet* Do I sense a pattern?😉 Anyways, this seems so cool! Holy cow. BON JOVI!!

it was amazing!! i especially loved may and françois’s relationship!!

Everyone hating on this should just watch it because it’s a GREAT show!

So basically the musical within tootsie 😂

I didn't know how much I needed this in my life until just now 😍

This actually looks really good

the aesthetic of this show looks like one of those horrible bedazzled “live, laugh, love” signs that your grandma buys for you from bed bath and beyond

I Love this Trailer so exitedet of it!

Honestly went there recently and I loved it so much. Absolute recommend!!

The best experience of my life i had so much fun to bad i don't live in london to see this musical again

Sooooooooooooo Good!!!! I went yesterday and it's amazing, I do recommend!!

it looks interesting and i like the concept but another goddamn jukebox musical?? and with a katy perry song in it?? i wish i could see what this looks like with original music that isn’t so dated

honestly everyone seems to not like the idea but it’s a show like if you don’t like the idea don’t go or listen .... i personally think a lot more could have been done with it but it still seems super good and everyone’s really putting their hardest into this . if you’re not a big fan then fine but dont complain or anything cuz it’s already in a theatre and stuff not much is gonna change now

Just saw this today and it's awesome! Yeah, it may have been cooler with original songs but they remixed them so well! Such a unique plot! *Not super spoilery spoiler* I kinda hope that Anne Hathaway gave Shakespeare wild ideas like this in real life but he never published them

God!! What I would give to watch this!!

Oh another Romeo and Juliet remake which so amazingly recreates the play oh gosh I can't wait and also having loads of popular songs that everybody knows instead of original musical numbers god that's so why I go to the West End.

aaaaaand i have to go back to london now time to get on a 14 hour plane ride haha

How nice. A great value version of moulin Rouge

'What if Juliet lived?' You'd be rewriting one of the greatest tragedies of all time. Which can work, if there was a reason to. As far as I know, people weren't begging for this to happen.

i heard the start as "Juliet plunges Romeo's *daddy* into her heart"

Saw this on Tuesday at the shafstbury theatre in London. Great show and fantastic vocals!

I’m already looking forward to this

Literally closed last night. WHY is KZfaq throwing this at me like I could go to see it again?? 😭

If I loved Moulin Rouge and Six on Broadway, will I like this?

This looks so good.

this looks really cool but are any of the songs original?

My friends and I went to see &Juliet this weekend and it was absolutely amazing! It was so much better than i expected and we all had such a great time. The entire casts' singing is just mind blowing- especially Juliets 💯 Highly recommend and would like to go watch it again myself to be honest.

I love this musical I haven't seen it but I really loved the current pop jukebox songs I think that every musical needs some pop jukebox songs in there that will rock the audience on their feet

Can someone please tell me why so many people are getting upset over the fact that is a jukebox musical? While I absolutely adore musicals, I wouldn't consider myself a really big theatre fan, having never been able to see one in person. However, I think the idea of taking pre-exisiting songs and fitting them into the plot of the musical sounds really cool to me. I know that Mamma Mia! did the same thing, but I can't really judge that one since I've never seen it, but I've heard good things about it. So, I guess I don't really understand why there is such an uproar about & Juliet being a jukebox musical.

this musical is amazing!! all the songs are fitting and it's executed perfectly, going back for a round 5 soon- but tickets if you can ^^

Went to see it last Saturday and the show was amazing. Loved the music, the dancing and the humour.

The soundtrack is Amazing

This looks so COOOOOOL

Show Me Love by Robyn? Impressive

Saw this recently and... everyone who is hating on it is right to do so. The jukebox songs felt so shallow and shoehorned in and the book was very blah. I will say this, the actress who plays Juliet was undeniably charismatic. I just wish she had more to work with

Looks so good

My headphones when "Roar" starts: 0:55 ━━━━━━❍─── - 0:26 ↻ ⊲ Ⅱ ⊳ ↺ VOLUME: ▁▂▃▄▅▆▇ 100%

I’m about to audition for this show ! I didn’t know it was all covers (jukebox).. interesting concept

Can't wait till it makes Broadway 😉

personally love this idea and the fact it’s not original music shouldn’t take away from how amazing it looks!

Soooooo where's the Broadway Transfer :)

(Please note this is coming from someone who hasn’t seen it and whose first exposure is this trailer) I know many people have chimed in with doubts about the jukebox concept, and while I have to agree that I believe this is an idea that would be well executed with more original music, I do enjoy the glitz of the entire thing. I can understand where people are coming from, saying it’s a bit much, though I think it all together would make a really fun time in the theater. It’s also a pretty interesting concept in general!

“Maybe we should rewrite all your plays” No just this one. Please don’t make a glittery Hamlet or Macbeth.

i’m watching this with my school next month, rlly excited!!!

please tell me that there will be a proshot becase this s my fav musical and i cant afford theater tickets

Will give it a go but the music seems a little bit cringey!

So I absolutely love the aesthetic, the cast is amazing, the costumes are great, the set design is fantastic, even the music sounds good, but something feels kinda off to me... From all the promo material and the character profiles for the show it really feels as if it's a feminist message first and a story second. Don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with having a feminist message. I mean, the feminism in Six is very prominent and Six is one of my favorite shows. But in Six the feminism is very natural cause it is a show about women in history who have always been done wrong by a man and are only remembered for being wives. So a show turning that around and giving a group of women the spotlight instead of them fighting over a man feels very right. I have not seen & Juliet so I might be very wrong here, but from all the promo's the feminism feels kinda forced? Like, Romeo & Juliet is a tragic love story about forbidden romance and starcrossed lovers. I always felt as if they were equal in that, not the Romeo show. Sure, it is a story from the 1500s and Juliet is the typical meek beauty type, but the love story is still about two equals. I mean, Romeo kills himself over Juliets ´death´ (which is not a very healthy coping strategy btw). I never got the vibe that Juliet, more so than Romeo, got the short end of the stick. Romeo & Juliet is not Shakespeares most 'female unfriendly' play, for a lack of better words. If they wanted to tacklea Shakespeare story in which the female lead was really done wrong they should have adapted the Taming of the Shrew instead. The pitch for & Juliet, as they make it sound, is basically that Juliet sees her lover die and thinks 'whoops, time to be a strong empowered woman who don't need no man!' and yeets all of her feelings for her soulmate out of the window. And that feels inappropriate. Still, I haven't seen the show and I am still excited to see it so it can prove me wrong. Hopefully people who have seen it can tell me if the feminism is neatly and naturally incorporated into the story like in Six. Anyway, the aesthetic gives me life so that counts for something. Okay that was my rant byee

I really don't understand why everybody disses Jukebox musicals

This looks cool!

This intrigues me

is there somewhere we can legally watch this online or purchase a recording of the musical?

I saw this a little while ago and it was AMAZING!!! (And Hilarious)
