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.
"My 14 yo daughter is a big fan of Kit and Heartstopper, Rachel too. She absolutely loved it. As a fan of Shakespeare , I did as well. Supporting cast was phenomenal and audience engagement was a pleasant surprise. She was able to get autographs after the show and it was perfect! As with all broadway shows, get there early, avoid long bathroom lines too. I don’t think you get children would enjoy- so stick with tweens/teens. "

Romeo and Juliet on steroids
"Just attended a brilliant performance of Romeo and Juliet. Modern, energetic with a twist on a classic play. Shakespeare would have been proud. Both Rachel Zegler and Kit Connor were outstanding, as was the entire cast. Congratulations 👏"

A lovely modern retelling of a well-known, heartbreaking story.
"It's not a "musical", but it does have songs, and Rachel Zegler, as well as the whole cast, is a powerhouse. The show is incredibly entertaining with the mix of Shakespeare text and song, keeping the audience engaged in terms of alertness and emotion."

Is romantic love still relevant today?
"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romance is sadly often lost in digital meanderings, could the classical tale of Romeo and Juliet possibly be somewhat outdated?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.

Loved it!
"It was a fun show. Enjoyed the music. The actors were great. Thought Rachel Z was a great Juliet and Kit was great as Romeo. Was ok for my 13 year old - but not sure I would bring a younger kid. "
