"& Juliet is a fun and engaging show that's part rewrite of Shakespeare and part pop anthem jukebox musical. The national tour features a cast that radiates energy and joy. The show depicts a world in which Juliet rewrites her own fate, and the result is delightfully fun and emotionally resonating....Luke Sheppard's direction keeps the momentum brisk and the tone playful while allowing moments of genuine warmth and self-discovery to shine through. The combination of the playful direction with the inventive book and familiar pop hits plays up the fun aspect of the show and, along with the intriguing and realistic characters, makes this a musical that feels fresh and timely rather than just another jukebox musical of hit pop tunes shoe-horned into a lackluster story." - Gil Benbrook, TalkinBroadway.com (click here to read the complete review)
"it’s as if William Shakespeare was handed a bedazzled microphone and told to start writing Romeo and Juliet all over again, only this time he should make it a fizzy, whirling pop fantasia that pulses with enough pop/rock earworms to play in your head on an endless loop for days....You’d think a Shakespearean jukebox musical would crash and burn under the weight of its own kitsch. But instead, & Juliet tosses its hair and, like Katy Perry, roars. Quite literally." - David Appleford, Broadway World (click here to read the complete review)
