TICKETS

After having to close as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, producers have announced that the Olivier Award-winning musical & Juliet will re-open at the Shaftesbury Theatre, London on 28 May 2021.

& Juliet is the hilarious and fun-loving new West End musical that asks: what if Juliet’s famous ending was really just her beginning? What if she decided to choose her own fate? This is Juliet’s story now. So don’t tell her how it ends...

Soaring with pop anthems including ...Baby One More Time, Everybody (Backstreet's Back), Love Me Like You Do and Can’t Feel My Face, & Juliet is a riotous blast of fun and glorious music that proves when it comes to love, there’s always life after Romeo...
