Let’s see what the critics say and check back for more reviews!

Timoth David Copney, BroadwayWorld: & Juliet brings a fresh and delightful perspective to the age-old tale of star-crossed lovers; It is adorned with familiar expressions that are still used today, which Shakespeare’s character points out to the audience as his entertaining side. Shifting the focus from the tragic situation in the original game to a new, optimistic conclusion with the addition of a few significant changes to the story, it becomes a story of female empowerment led by both female protagonists. This version will appeal to a broader, younger audience, and as a grateful member of the Baltimore theater community, I’m delighted to see old stories given new life. And wait until you see how the title arrives on the scene. I loved the ending, the beginning, and everything in between. I’m sure you will too.

Chuck Duncan -Hotchka: & I wasn’t really sure what to expect from Juliet. Knowing it’s already a jukebox musical with established songs, it has a bit of a Moulin Rouge vibe (especially with the neon signs), but it also reminded me of the Fantastic Six, with its original music but anachronistic costumes. If these two series had a baby, it would be Juliet. And what a joy this is. A great production, pop music you know, and some of the best performances you’ll see this year make & Juliet a can’t-miss show when it comes to your city (or nearby).
