The producers of the global sensation & Juliet have announced that Ben Jackson Walker, the original Romeo in the Broadway production, will be revisiting the role in the UK and Ireland tour. Ben began performances on Saturday, 19 April and will continue through to the end of the tour, next performing at Birmingham Hippodrome. Book Tickets.
Get whisked away on a fabulous journey as Juliet ditches her famous ending for a fresh beginning and a second chance at life and love, her way. Created by David West Read, the Emmy-winning writer from Schitt’s Creek, this hilarious new musical flips the script on the greatest love story ever told and asks, what would happen next if Juliet didn’t end it all over Romeo?
Juliet’s new story bursts to life through a playlist of pop anthems as iconic as her name, including Britney Spears’ “…Baby One More Time,” Katy Perry’s “Roar” and chart toppers “Since U Been Gone,” “It’s My Life,” “I Want It That Way,” and “Can’t Stop the Feeling!” — all from Max Martin, the genius songwriter/producer behind more #1 hits than any other artist this century, and his collaborators. 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.
Ben joins current & Juliet tour cast members Gerardine Sacdalan as Juliet, Lara Denning as Anne, Sandra Marvin as Angelique, Kyle Cox as Francois, Jordan Broatch as May, Ranj Singh and Lee Latchford-Evans, who alternate the role of Lance, and Jay McGuiness as Shakespeare.
