Think you know everything about Romeo and Juliet? Think again, as the new musical &Juliet changes the tale to give Juliet a whole new story. Rather than picking up a dagger, in this story Juliet decides to live, and heads off to Paris with her Nurse and friends.
An exciting new musical, we can now share some behind-the-scenes snaps of the rehearsal room, courtesy of Johan Persson.

Starring Miriam-Teak Lee (Hamilton) as Juliet, the show also features Cassidy Janson (Beautiful: The Carole King Musical), Oliver Tompsett (Kinky Boots), David Bedella (In The Heights), Jordan Luke Gage (Bat Out Of Hell) and Grace Mouat (Six).
And you may recognise the tunes in the show already, as &Juliet is full of songs by Max Martin, who wrote some of the biggest pop anthems over the last three decades. The musical includes hits from Ariana Grande, Britney Spears, Backstreet Boys, Justin Timberlake and Katy Perry.
Here’s a sneak peek of what to expect, as the cast performanced at West End LIVE this year.
