& Juliet at Kennedy Center Opera House

& Juliet, one of the newest and funniest of musicals, is coming to Kennedy Center Opera House, Washington this December on Friday 27th December 2024. Taking inspiration from the most powerful of source material, the Kennedy Center Opera House is ready for the challenge of producing this classic tale of Romeo & Juliet. The topnotch advanced equipment is sure to bring this exceptional show to life. Theatergoers can look forward to not only an enjoyable viewing, but also a flawless technical production of this fresh musical.

Shakespeare’s original play has historically been regarded as one of the most despairing stories in several decades, with the central characters' zealous devotion for each other, ultimately leading to their joint suicide. The use of William Shakespeare and Anne Hathaway, as tools in the West End's fresh musical, & Juliet, places in a new twist by allowing Juliet to live through the ending of Shakespeare’s classic. Opting to find new experiences with Juliet's equally determined companions, the cast is exposed to a new landscape, beyond that which Juliet and her friends were used to, when they arrive in France.

Given that 400 years have passed since we first met Romeo and Juliet, the new play also applies a modernized execution that is more appropriate today. To deliver its point across to the theatergoers, ‘& Juliet’ promotes a list of current music numbers, from the industry's best icon, Max Martin. The Swedish record producer's original idea of creating a musical around all his songs over the course of his career, resulting in the jukebox musical. & Juliet, was produced and debuted in the year 2019. Max Martin was completely selfless in the usage of his numbers in the musical, expressing how he “wished for '& Juliet' to have its own unique identity. He wanted audiences to feel that this was a different medium from his usual work. He expressed that fans should discover their love for his hits again.” This existing new play is headlined with tracks from world-class singers such as Katy Perry, Ke$ha, Ariana Grande, and NSYNC, among others. Thanks to this, it has set the stage for welcoming a diverse fan base to West End.
