& Juliet to close on Broadway this january

& Juliet will play its final Broadway performance on Sunday, January 3, 2027 – more  than four years after it opened at the Stephen Sondheim Theatre. At closing, it will have played 1,723  regular performances and 20 preview performances, making it one of the 50 longest-running Broadway musicals of all time.

“From the very beginning, & Juliet has been winning over audiences and critics alike, shattering every  stereotype about jukebox musicals to deliver a smart, funny, heartfelt story – all while sparking true joy in everyone who sees it,” producers Theresa Steele Page and Eva Price said. “We’re incredibly proud  of the run we’ve had on Broadway, and the story of inclusion, acceptance and second chances we’ve been able to share with more than 1.5 million people in our four years on Broadway.”  

& Juliet flips the script on the greatest love story ever told, imagining what would happen next if Juliet  hadn’t ended it all over Romeo, and got a second chance at life and love – on her terms. Juliet’s new  story bursts to life through a playlist of pop anthems as iconic as her name. Nominated for 9 Tony  Awards including Best Musical, & Juliet is created by David West Read, the Emmy-winning writer from  “Schitt’s Creek,” and features an iconic playlist of pop music’s #1 hitmaker, Max Martin including  “Since U Been Gone,” “Roar,” “I Want It That Way,” “Confident,” and more. The production is directed  by Luke Sheppard with choreography by Jennifer Weber.

The show currently stars Gianna Harris as ‘Juliet,’ Tony Award winner Paulo Szot and NSYNC Superstar  Joey Fatone as ‘Lance,’ Alison Luff as ‘Anne,’ Corey Mach as ‘Shakespeare,’ Michael Iván Carrier as  ‘May,’ Chrissy Metz as ‘Angélique,’ Ben Jackson Walker as ‘Romeo,’ and Makai Hernandez as ‘François,’ with Gabe Amato, Daniel Assetta, Reese Britts, Nicholas Cooper, Halima Dodo, Jhailyn Paige Farcon, Kenneth Onesimus Goubran, Megan Kane, Alaina Ví Maderal, Daniel J. Maldonado, Mackenzie Meadows, Esosa Oviasu, Cassie Silva, TJ Tapp, Zalah Vallien, Darien Van Rensalier, and Romy Vuksan.
