About the Show

A remixed version of Shakespeare's tale about two starcrossed lovers.

Verona is a powder keg, filled with violence fuelled by a feud between the Montague and the Capulet families. In spite of their families' differences, Romeo & Juliet fall in love at first sight but are forbidden to be together. Will the young couple become the next sacrifice of this brutal feud?

Shakespeare’s most famous story is re-told through rap, rhythms, and harmonies in this new adaptation, which is recommended for ages 9-12+.
