Broadway's & Juliet has partnered with the theatrical not-for-profit The Theatre Development Fund to launch The &Future Education Initiative, which will provide New York City students and educators the opportunity to see the hit jukebox musical on Broadway for free this spring.
The initiative's first outing was held January 7, with 200 New York City Public School students attending an & Juliet performance at no cost. A special Teacher Appreciation Night was also held January 27, providing local educators with tools to integrate the show into their curriculum. This spring, approximately 1,600 more students will be able to see & Juliet for special student performances featuring an accompanying talkback with members of the show's cast and creative team.
In addition to the &Future Initiative, the & Juliet Educational Hub is free and available to the public online, offering grade level-tailored activities, behind-the-scenes insights, and more.
The Tony-nominated jukebox musical & Juliet opened at the Stephen Sondheim Theatre November 17, 2022, transferring from its hit West End run. Picking up where Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet ends, when Shakespeare's wife Anne Hathaway comes to visit him in London, she suggests that the lovestruck teenager's story shouldn't end in tragedy. The reimagining to Juliet's story unfolds to a soundtrack of pop songs written by Grammy winner Max Martin.
The current cast is led by Harris in the title role, alongside Hayden Tee as Lance, Alison Luff as Anne, Drew Gehling as Shakespeare, Michael Iván Carrier as May, Cheryl Porter as Angélique, Liam Pearce as Romeo, and Nathan Levy as François.
Grammy Award winner and Tony Award & Emmy Award nominee Kandi Burruss joined the company as Angelique December 11, for performances through March 8, 2026. James Monroe Iglehart returned to the role of Lance December 2, and Teal Wicks is taking over the role of Anne November 24, 2025-February 22, 2026.
Luke Sheppard directs the Broadway production, reuniting his full West End creative team including choreographer Jennifer Weber, scenic designer Soutra Gilmour, costume designer Paloma Young, lighting designer Howard Hudson, sound designer Gareth Owen, video and projections designer Andrzej Goulding, and hair designer J. Jared Janas. Bill Sherman serves as musical supervisor, orchestrator, and arranger, with Dominic Fallacaro as music director. Casting is by Stephen Kopel and Carrie Gardner.
Featuring a book by Emmy winner David West Read (Schitt's Creek), the score of songs by Martin is filled with familiar pop songs from the last three decades, such as “Since U Been Gone,” “Roar,” “Baby One More Time,” “Larger Than Life,” “That’s The Way It Is,” and “Can’t Stop the Feeling."
