PNC Broadway Lights Series Eighth Show Revealed!
Apr 26, 2023 /
(April 26, 2023) Charlotte, NC – On Tuesday night, the Broadway company of & JULIET made an appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers to announce a multi-year tour with stops across the country, including Charlotte’s Blumenthal Performing Arts. The hilarious new Broadway hit musical that Variety cheers as “the most fun you’ll have on Broadway” will complete Blumenthal’s spectacular 2023–2024 Broadway season, filling the final slot in the PNC Broadway Lights series. For tickets and more information about the 2023–2024 season, visit blumethalarts.org.
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 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!”—all from the genius songwriter/producer behind more #1 hits than any other artist this century—Max Martin. 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.
Casting will be announced at a later date. Fans are encouraged to visit andjulietbroadway.com to sign up for the email newsletter and be among the first to receive tour news and updates.
