#Romeo who?
Juliet's just getting started

Created by the Emmy®–winning writer from Schitt’s Creek, this hilarious new musical flips the script on the greatest love story ever told. & JULIET asks: what would happen next if Juliet didn’t end it all over Romeo? Get whisked away on a fabulous journey as she ditches her famous ending for a fresh beginning and a second chance at life and love—her way.

With every twist of the tale, & JULIET reimagines iconic pop songs you know and love—in ways you’ll never expect. Featuring 'Since U Been Gone,' 'Larger Than Life,' '…Baby One More Time,' 'I Want It That Way,' 'It’s Gonna Be Me,' 'Roar,' 'It’s My Life,' 'That’s The Way It Is,' and more.

The only thing tragic about this musical would be missing it!
