Following over three successful years of showcasing at the Shaftesbury Theatre in London's West End, the popular Jukebox musical & Juliet has announced that the final performance of the musical at the venue will be on March 25th, 2023.
The plot of & Juliet is a modern take on what could be the aftermath of William Shakespeare's 'Romeo & Juliet' and imagines what Juliet would have done if she didn't die at the end of the play. The story is told by Shakespeare and his wife, and sees Juliet embarking on a coming-of-age journey and travelling to Paris to discover who she is as an individual and independent woman without 'Romeo'.

The upbeat story is set to 30 mega pop 'bangers' from a host of international artists such as Katy Perry, Britney Spears, the Backstreet Boys, and Céline Dion that were all written by songwriter Max Martin. & Juliet features a book by Max Martin who is also known for his work on the TV sitcom 'Schitt's Creek'.
The musical received widespread acclaim and had its world premiere at the Manchester Opera House in September 2019 before landing in the West End and taking over as the resident show at the Shaftesbury Theatre in November of the same year.
& Juliet received nominations for nine Olivier Awards in 2020, winning three for cast members Miriam-Teak Lee, Cassidy Janson and David Bedella. Lee also won the 'Best Actress' award at the WhatsOnStage Awards in 2020, where the production was nominated for a record-breaking 13 awards.
& Juliet will open in New York later this year and also in Melbourne in spring 2023 with both U.K. and European tours also in the pipeline.
