Original London Cast of & Juliet

**Original London Cast of & Juliet**

The Original London Cast of *& Juliet* brings explosive energy to this 2019 pop-fueled reimagining of Shakespeare’s tragic romance. Premiering at London’s Shaftesbury Theatre, the musical flips the script by asking: “What if Juliet ditched the dagger and embarked on a self-discovery bop fest?” Packed with Max Martin’s chart-toppers like “Since U Been Gone” and “Roar,” the show mashes Elizabethan drama with glittery empowerment anthems, creating a confetti cannon of feel-good rebellion against the Bard’s original ending.

Led by Olivier-nominated Miriam-Teak Lee as a fiercely independent Juliet, the cast—including Cassidy Janson as Anne Hathaway (Shakespeare’s witty wife) and Jordan Luke Gage as a charmingly unserious Romeo—turns classic pop bangers into storytelling gold. Their 2020 cast recording captures the show’s infectious vibe, blending Shakespearean wordplay with dancefloor-ready bops that make you wanna yell, “Juliet deserved better anyway.”
