Arriving in District Of Columbia on Wednesday 18th December 2024, Washington is having a production of the better half of Romeo showcased in post-modern playwriting, the play from Broadway, & Juliet, in the district’s finest theater location for the dramatic arts, Kennedy Center Opera House. Equipped with the best possible equipment and amazing stage and seating construction, Kennedy Center Opera House is surely as modern as the musical that is produced within its walls.

The reimagined play, filled with pop songs from the current generation and having its first showing less than a decade ago, highlights all of the new ways that contemporary dramatic arts has to offer. The musical's storyline, which centers around our main female lead overcoming the expectations set by others of what manner a lady is required to live her life is a huge contrast from the story we have knowledge of in Romeo and Juliet; instead of her story ending in tragedy, Juliet and the women in the story takes on a conscious choice to live, and on their own at that.

William Shakespeare's late play expectedly highlights love as the story's central trope, especially both the highs and lows of true love. The reimagining of Juliet’s story in ‘& Juliet’ on the other hand is all about empowerment and taking control of your own fate, while still placing emphasis on the choices that women make. The two varying themes which arise from scripts that were written in two totally disparate time periods embody how much the dramatic arts and musical stories have evolved in the past times.

The new play is able to present to its audience the changes between the two plays by using the characters of Shakespeare himself and Hathaway, his wife, who at key moments all throughout the two acts of the jukebox musical keep suggesting their own versions of what they think should ensue for Juliet and her friends. Those scenes mixed with the actual scenes of Juliet and her friends in Paris demonstrate how the play is not just amusing, but also quite instructive as the musical connects the differences in messaging that is present in both the classic Shakespearean play and the present-day play.

Whether a fan of the classic Romeo & Juliet or a brand new viewer of contemporary theater, this play should be on top of the list for any theatergoer. The breathtaking play is not afraid to apply an innovative twist to make a forgotten story and its characters quite relatable for theatergoers of any background.
