THE AWARD-WINNING & JULIET IS COMING TO BRADFORD
& Juliet is showing there is life after Romeo, when this award-winning musical comes to the Alhambra Theatre, Bradford later this month.
Juliet is ditching her famous ending for a fresh beginning and a second chance at life and love - her way. Created by David West Read, 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?
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.
The Wanted band member and 2015 Strictly Come Dancing winner Jay McGuiness will star as Shakespeare and Ranj Singh, who has been delighting audiences in the role of Lance, will continue in this role for the run in Bradford.
Also in the cast are Harriet Caplan-Dean as Eleanor, Alexander Kranz as Lennox, Andilé Mabhena as Augustine / Dance Team, Liam Morris as Richard, Psalms-Nissi Myers-Reid as Lucy/Alternate Juliet, Michael Nelson as Henry, Toni Paise as Violet, Katie Ramshaw as Nell / Lady C, Rosie Singha as Judith, Aaron Shales as Gregory / Dance Team, Nia Stephen as Imogen and Samuel Wilson-Freeman as Fletcher / Resident Director and Dance Captain.
& Juliet is a global success and has now been performed on four continents since its World Premiere in September 2019. It began at the Manchester Opera House, before moving to London’s West End from 2019-2023, where it won three Olivier Awards, and 6 WhatsOnStage Awards. The show had its North American premiere in July 2022 in Toronto, where it broke box office records and played to standing-room-only audiences, before heading to Broadway, where it again broke box office records and plays nightly to sold-out crowds. & Juliet can now also be seen around the globe with the North American Tour that started in September 2024 and the German premiere in October 2024. The German production marks the show’s first production with a book translated into a different language and was also the sixth country to welcome & Juliet in less than five years.
