Teal Wicks, who played Anne Hathaway in the touring company of & Juliet, joins the Broadway company of the international hit in the same role beginning November 24 at the Stephen Sondheim Theatre.

Wicks, who will continue through February 22, 2026, is temporarily replacing Alison Luff, who has taken a leave of absence to star in the new musical Wonder. Wicks' Broadway credits also include Wicked, The Cher ShowFinding Neverland, and Jekyll & Hyde.

Hayden Tee returned to Broadway's & Juliet in the role of Lance—a role he played earlier this year—November 4. An original member of the show's Australian company, Tee is playing Lance through November 30 while Tony winner James Monroe Iglehart is on leave. Iglehart is scheduled to return to the show December 2 and continue until March 8, 2026. And, as previously reported, Grammy Award winner Kandi Burruss will play the role of Angélique December 11–March 8, 2026.

Nominated for nine Tony Awards, including Best Musical, & Juliet flips the script on the William Shakespeare classic, imagining what would happen next if Juliet hadn’t ended it all over Romeo. Featuring a book by David West Read, the score includes famous pop songs written by Max Martin, including “Since U Been Gone,” “Roar,” “I Want It That Way,” and “Confident.”

The Broadway company currently features Gianna Harris as Juliet, Drew Gehling as Shakespeare, Michael Iván Carrier as May, Liam Pearce as Romeo, and Nathan Levy as François.

Jared Janas, and musical direction and additional orchestrations by Dominic Fallacaro.
