& Juliet

ENSEMBLE ARTS PHILLY
AND THE SHUBERT ORGANIZATION
PRESENT THE PHILADELPHIA PREMIERE
OF THE BROADWAY SENSATION,
& JULIET,
AT THE ACADEMY OF MUSIC,
MARCH 25 – APRIL 6, 2025

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE (February 3, 2025) – Ensemble Arts Philly and The Shubert Organization are thrilled to present the Broadway smash hit musical, & Juliet, at the Academy of Music from Tuesday, March 25 through Sunday, April 6, 2025. This is a part of the 2024-25 Broadway Season.

Created by the Emmy-winning writer from Schitt’s Creek, this hilarious new musical flips the script on the greatest love story ever told. & Juliet asks: what would happen next 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 light and love – her way.

“& Juliet brings a refreshing twist to a classic story, empowering audiences to reimagine their personal potential to change the narratives of their own lives,” said Frances Egler, Vice President of Theatrical Programming and Presentations. “This show is a celebration of strength, love, and self-discovery, wrapped in powerhouse performances and unforgettable music.”

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 #1 hits than any other artists this century – Max Martin.

The full creative team for the North American tour of & Juliet includes David West Read (book), Max Martin & Friends (Music & Lyrics), Luke Sheppard (Direction), Jennifer Weber (Choreography), Bill Sherman (Musical Supervision, Orchestrations and Arrangements), Soutra Gilmour (Scenic Desing), Paloma Young (Costume Design), Howard Hudson (Lighting Design), Gareth Owens (Sound Design), Andrzej Goulding (Video & Projection Design), and J. Jared Janas (Hair, Wig & Makeup Design) and Dominic Fallacaro (Additional Orchestrations and Arrangements). The North American tour is music directed by Andre Cerullo. US Casting is by Stephen Kopel, Carrie Gardner, and Jillian Cimini, CSA. & Juliet is Executive Produced on Broadway and tour by Eva Price.

& Juliet is produced on Broadway and on tour by Max Martin, Tim Headington, Theresa Steele Page, Jenny Petersson, Martin Dodd and Eva Price.

& Juliet has now been performed on four continents since its World Premiere in September 2019. It began at the Manchester Opera House in England, before moving to London’s West End, where it won three Olivier Awards, and six WhatsOnStage Awards before playing its final performance at the Shaftesbury Theatre in March 2023. The show had its North American premiere in July 2022 in Toronto, where it broke box office records and played to standing-room-only audiences, before heading to Broadway, where it again broke box office records and plays nightly to sold-out crowds. An Australian production of & Juliet premiered in February 2023 at Melbourne’s Regent Theatre and launched a UK tour (July 2024) and German production (October 2024). The German production marks the show’s first production with a book translated into a different language and will also be the sixth country to welcome & Juliet in less than five years. More information for all productions can be found at  andjulietthemusical.com

The Original Broadway Cast Recording of & Juliet was released in October 2022 on Atlantic Records and is available wherever streaming music is played.
