The youth are f*cked. Left to their own devices in their parents’ world of violent ends, an impulsive pair of star-crossed lovers hurtle towards their inescapable fate. The intoxicating high of passion quickly descends into a brutal chaos that can only end one way.
"This show was incredible. The cast captures the timeless story of Romeo and Juliet all while adding a beautifully modern twist that captivates the audience. Not only was Kit Connor and Rachel Zegler were born to play these rolls, but the entire cast poured their heart into each scene, making this experience something I will never forget. "

"This production was determined to make the show youthful and current, but it did so in ways that were smart, respectful and informative. The play was very moving. KIt Connor is an absolute star! Romeo is a very difficult role and he delivers a fresh take that is brilliant. Rachel Zegler's strengths as a singer are on full display. Sam Gold's direction is innovative and thrilling. "

"This theater was perfect for the show because every seat feels like you are right there with them. The cast was phenomenal and the lack of set is advantageous because it shows off their acting ability. The music was incredible. This show felt fun, fresh, intimate, and unique. It made Shakespeare digestible and told the story with an incredible amount of character and heart. I would see it again and again! "

"In times when the value of relationships is newly defined, loyalty sometimes becomes rather short lived and romance is sadly often lost in digital meanderings, could the classical tale of Romeo and Juliet possibly be somewhat outdated?
Well, as the vibrant performance of the spectacular cast proved yesterday evening, this could not be further from the truth. Of course the production was uncompromisingly contemporary with Shakespeare meeting LGBTQ+ off Broadway, but the main ingredients of undoubting love, family values, betrayal and many more were still conveyed in an artistic interpretation of the highest class.
Sobbing spectators, apparently unfamiliar with the plot, at the tragic end, thunderous applause by the mesmerised audience and the unanswered question of the more rational but equally impressed spectators, how on earth the actresses and actors succeeded in memorising such an enormous number of linguistically and emotionally highly challenging dialogues, were all but a few proofs that this was a night to be truly remembered and to be recommended to all who have not given up on love in its most romantic form.

"This show gained much from the venue. The very intimate stage and closeness to the action throughout the entire show were very positively memorable. Each actor made their roles their own and were enjoyable, but only some were successful in delivering the spirit of the original Shakespeare, that may or may not be on purpose, hard to tell.
However, I would recommend this as a very exciting, engaging, and entertaining experience. Also, probably not for children."

"I liked Rachel Zegler‘s exquisite voice and the attempt to provide a modern interpretation of Shakespeare’s classic. Unfortunately, too vulgar and extreme for my taste. "
