& Juliet flips the script on the greatest love story ever told, imagining what would happen next if Juliet hadn’t ended it all over Romeo, and got a second chance at life and love – on her terms. The musical uses the songs of hitmaker Max Martin‘s catalogue and you’ll recognize almost all of them!
People reports that Blake told the cast, “I don’t know what to get him for his birthday? What do you get him for his birthday? I know he loves musicals, I love musicals, the kids love musicals. So it felt like the right choice!”
An insider told the outlet, “It was a great afternoon for the cast, many of whom made their Broadway debuts in this show. To have their work praised by two of Hollywood’s biggest stars is something they’ll never forget.”
Joey Fatone is joining the cast of the show for a limited nine-week engagement beginning on January 21, 2025.
