Award-Winning & Juliet musical comes to Wales Millennium Centre Summer 2025
The award-winning musical & Juliet will be coming to Cardiff’s Wales Millennium Centre in 2025 as part of a UK tour.
Created by the Emmy-winning writer from “Schitt’s Creek,” this hilarious new musical flips the script on the greatest love story ever told and asks, what would happen next if Juliet didn’t end it all over Romeo? Get whisked away on a fabulous journey as Juliet ditches her famous ending for a fresh beginning and a second chance at life and love—her way.
Juliet’s new story bursts to life through a playlist of pop anthems as iconic as her name, including Britney Spears’ “…Baby One More Time,” Katy Perry’s “Roar” and chart toppers “Since U Been Gone,” “It’s My Life,” “I Want It That Way,” and “Can’t Stop the Feeling!” — all from Max Martin, the genius songwriter/producer behind more #1 hits than any other artist this century, and his collaborators. Break free of the balcony scene and get into this romantic comedy that proves there’s life after Romeo. The only thing tragic would be missing it.
& Juliet is directed by Luke Sheppard (In the Heights, Rent, Little Big Things), with a Book by David West Read (Schitt’s Creek), choreography by Jennifer Weber and set design by Soutra Gilmour. Music is by Max Martin & Friends, costume design by Paloma Young, musical supervision, orchestration and arrangements by Bill Sherman, lighting design by Howard Hudson, sound design by Gareth Owen, video & projection design by Andrzej Goulding, hair, wig and makeup design by Suzy Barrett, musical direction, additional arrangements and orchestrations by Dominic Fallacaro, and casting direction by Stuart Burt.
& Juliet is presented by Max Martin and Tim Headington and is produced by Max Martin, Tim Headington, Theresa Steele Page, Jenny Petersson, Martin Dodd and Rebecca Quigley.
Graeme Farrow, Wales Millennium Centre’s Artistic Director, said: “& Juliet is no Overprotected heroine. This Juliet is Stronger and Larger Than Life and Everybody is going to fall in love with her when she declares loud and proud It’s My Life. I can’t wait for this musical comedy to Roar into Cardiff in 2025. Not to be missed!”
& Juliet will be at Wales Millennium Centre from 16 – 28 June 2025. Tickets will go on public sale from 10 November 2023 and will be available here: www.wmc.org.uk
