She’s back!! After a very successful debut in Toronto in 2022, en route to a successful Broadway run, Mirvish Productions bring back & JULIET where it all began.

Mirvish Productions’ & Juliet mashes-up William Shakespeare and wife Anne Hathaway‘s actual story, with his masterpiece Romeo & Juliet, set against a backdrop of Pop mastermind Max Martin‘s catalog of smash hits! It is the perfect pick-me-up out of these winter blues, asking what would happen if Juliet survived?

I don’t know how they did it, but I loved it even more the second time! This Ensemble pairs together so wonderfully, led by Vanessa Sears, who is a 10 out of 10 vocally, a perfect Juliet. Julia Mclellan as Anne Hathaway also is a true powerhouse, drawing us into this magical, uplifting place!

We were left with tears – not of sadness – but of joy and hope from this! A truly special Musical which SHOULD adapted into a Film!

& JULIET is on now at Royal Alexandra Theatre till May 17, 2026. Tickets on-sale now at mirvish.com.

Some highlights from opening night!
