THE INTERNATIONAL SMASH HIT
RETURNS IN A BRAND NEW
CANADIAN PRODUCTION
Begins December 2025
Royal Alexandra Theatre
The hit musical & Juliet was born in Manchester UK on September 10, 2019. It transferred to London’s West End, opening at the Shaftesbury Theatre in November 20, 2019. The show’s North American premiere was on June 22, 2022 at the Princess of Wales Theatre in Toronto, where it played an acclaimed, smash-hit pre-Broadway engagement for eight weeks. It opened on Broadway at the Stephen Sondheim Theatre on November 17, 2022 and became an instant hit, still playing to packed houses three years later. Other productions around the world followed, including in Australia, Asia, Europe and on tour across North America, the UK and Ireland.
Now & Juliet comes back to Toronto, its first North American home. An all-Canadian production will begin performances on December 3, 2025 at the Royal Alexandra Theatre.
As this new production is being prepared, we thought we’d share some background material from the original Toronto engagement.
Below are 11 behind-the-scenes photos by Jenny Anderson, who specializes in capturing theatrical life backstage on Broadway and beyond. She was given exclusive access to capture the original cast as they put the final touches on the show.
Also, there are some wonderful videos created by the London cast of the show that capture the ethos of this fun, joyous, clever, hilarious and wise show.
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 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.
Take a listen to the Original Cast Recording of & Juliet, which features some of the most successful songs of the last three decades.
To tell you more about this unique new show and its creation, below are four videos, each focusing on a different aspects of the production. You can watch them in the order we list them, or you can choose the video you’d like to see first.
For fun — something & Juliet is loaded with — we’ve also included a video of Romeo (played by Jordan Luke Gage in the original London production) singing all 29 songs from the show in 4 minutes, and a step-by-step dance tutorial to Can’t Stop the Feeling. We bet you won’t be able to stop yourself from singing and dancing along.
