There is life after Romeo!
Get whisked away on a fabulous journey as Juliet ditches her famous ending for a fresh beginning and a second chance at life and love - her way! Created by the Emmy-winning writer from Schitt’s Creek, this hilarious new musical flips the script on the greatest love story ever told and asks the question ‘What would happen next if Juliet didn’t end it all over Romeo?’
Juliet’s new story bursts to life through a playlist of pop anthems as iconic as her name, including Britney Spears’ …Baby One More Time, Katy Perry’s Roar and chart toppers Since U Been Gone, It’s My Life, I Want It That Way and Can’t Stop The Feeling! - all from Max Martin, the genius songwriter / producer behind more number one hits that any other artist this century, and his collaborators. Break free from the balcony scene and get into this romantic comedy that proves there’s life after Romeo. The only tragic thing would be missing it!
