& Juliet: A Modern Shakespearean Retelling Well Worth Seeing & Juliet: A Modern Shakespearean Retelling Well Worth Seeing
Have you found the ending to Shakespeare’s famous Romeo and Juliet to be a bit…well, to speak frankly, depressing?
Jordan Broatch, who plays Juliet’s BFF May in the uplifting show, tells us that Juliet “goes on to live her best life, finds out who she is as a woman, and goes on her own journey of self-discovery through pop music and funky dancing.” But if you think this show is going to be smooth sailing then you will be sorely mistaken. I mean, it is Shakespeare after all. Expect lots of newfound love, heartache and of course, some added conflict as Juliet sets off to reinvent herself in the most fantastic way possible.and you will no doubt know nearly every tune, as the musical producer behind the smash hit soundtrack is Max Martin.
Broatch, who is non-binary themselves, says that it is “so lovely to play a character where such a big part of their identity relates to mine as well. It makes me feel great because I’m like ‘oh I get to play a non-binary character’ because there isn’t many in musical theatre”. As well-known pop music and talented dancers lend a hand in telling Read’s story, the costume design allows the characters to slot perfectly into this Shakespearean pop musical.
