3. & Juliet

The newest show on our list & Juliet had it’s world premiere in 2019 at the Manchester Opera House.

Romeo & Juliet final scene. Juliet picks up the dagger and… gets a life. & Juliet is the irreverent and fun-loving new West End musical that asks: what if Juliet’s famous ending was really just her beginning? What if she decided to choose her own fate? This concept in our opinion is absolutely fabulous and believe is the show does it justice, of course there is life after Romeo…
