The first national tour of & JULIET is headed to Walton Arts Center for eight performances May 26-31. Hailed by The New York Times as “clever & rousing & show-stopping! & JULIET brings the audience to its feet.”
The new musical flips the script on the greatest love story ever told and asks: what would happen if Juliet didn’t end it all over Romeo? Get whisked away on a fabulous journey as she ditches her famous ending for a fresh beginning and a second chance at life and love - her way.
Juliet's new story bursts to life through a playlist of pop anthems as iconic as her name, including "Since U Been Gone‚" "Roar," "Baby One More Time," "Larger Than Life‚" "That’s The Way It Is" and "Can't Stop the Feeling!"- all from the genius songwriter/producer behind more No. 1 hits than another artist this century - Max Martin. Break free of the balcony scene and get into this romantic comedy that proves there’s life after Romeo. The only thing tragic would be missing it.
The tour is led by 2025 Jimmy Award® Winner Fabiola Caraballo Quijada in the title role of Juliet. Featuring songs by the legendary Grammy®-winning songwriter/producer Max Martin, a book by the Emmy®-winning writer from “Schitt’s Creek,” David West Read, direction by Luke Sheppard and choreography by Emmy Award winner Jennifer Weber. & JULIET opened on Broadway in November 2022, where it continues playing to sold-out crowds and breaking box office records.
