What if Juliet didn’t end it all over Romeo? The musical “& Juliet” at the France-Merrick Performing Arts Center answers just that.
The production’s North American tour will launch from Baltimore’s Hippodrome Theatre at the France-Merrick Performing Arts Center, with eight performances from Sept. 22-28. Tickets go on sale Friday at 10 a.m.
In the show, Juliet explores the life she could have had — filled with even more romance and proof that there’s in fact life after Romeo. Broadway star Rachel Webb will take on the role as Juliet.
The musical will feature pop anthems by the Grammy award-winning producer and songwriter Max Martin. It will also flourish in comedy rather than tragedy.
“& Juliet” opened on Broadway in November 2022 and has broken box office records and played in front of sold-out crowds.
The Broadway production was nominated for nine Tony Awards in 2023.
Miriam-Teak Lee, who starred as Juliet in the original production when it premiered at the Manchester Opera House and later in the West End, won a Laurence Olivier Award for Best Actress in a Musical in 2020, among other awards bestowed upon the musical.
