The & Juliet musical campaign imagery is a shiny red heart wearing golden headphones.

What might have happened if Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet had ended differently? A ‘what if’ scenario is given life in a new musical coming to Wellington in 2026. & Juliet explores the idea of what the Bard’s heroine might have done if she’d lived beyond the end of the play. The bold reimagining uses fantastic songs to tell a story through a fiercely independent lens. The result is a fabulous, feel-good journey of self-discovery, empowerment, and second chances. 

& Juliet is a jukebox musical. That means the story is told using a playlist of pop bangers you already know and love. It features chart-toppers like Since U Been Gone, Roar, Baby One More Time, Larger Than Life, and Can’t Stop the Feeling! The show pulses with energy, heart, and non-stop fun. 

You’ll be wowed with dazzling costumes, electrifying choreography, and hit after hit. The retelling of a classic love story through a bold new lens makes & Juliet more than just a musical. It’s a celebration of rewriting your own narrative.
