& Juliet is a contemporary jukebox musical that reimagines Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet by following Juliet as she chooses her own future, set to a high-energy pop score of hits produced and written by Max Martin. The production at Bass Concert Hall in Austin presents the show’s theatrical storytelling with pop-driven choreography and staging, bringing mainstream chart songs into a Broadway-style musical format. It is notable for its upbeat, feminist take on a classic tale and for popularizing a modern pop repertoire within musical theatre.
