& Juliet – Musical at Benedum Center Pittsburgh

& Juliet, one of the decade’s greatest musicals is coming to Benedum Center, Pittsburgh this approaching October on Tuesday 29th October 2024. Taking inspiration from very powerful source material, Benedum Center takes on the challenge of hosting the production of the Shakespeare's well-known fictional tragedy. Having state-of-the-art technical equipment that can surely bring a exceptional jukebox musical, theatergoers are in for a treat with not just a cozy viewing but also a flawless presentation of this fresh musical.

William Shakespeare's love story has historically been regarded as one of the most despairing stories across multiple generations, with Romeo and Juliet’s zealous infatuation for each other leading to their death by their own hands. Utilizing Shakespeare and his wife as tools in the musical itself though, West End's brand-new play, & Juliet, places in a new twist by allowing Juliet to change her own fate in Romeo's suicide and empowering her to finally make her own decisions. Choosing to escape Verona with Juliet's equally-determined group, the cast is opened up to a bigger way of life beyond what they were accustomed to when they move to Paris, France.

Having been produced four centuries after the original, '& Juliet' also presents itself with storytelling that appeals to a younger audience. To deliver its narrative across to the audience, the musical promotes a slew of numbers taken from current music’s best icon, Max Martin. The Swedish record producer already had a goal of extending the usage of his songs to theater, resulting in the musical being launched and subsequently premiering in the year 2019. Martin gave complete freedom in the usage of his songs to the musical, expressing how he “wanted every song to feel like it was written for the musical, and to have audiences feel that even if his songs are performed differently, the audience would completely follow everything.” '& Juliet' is headlined with tracks from chart-topping artists namely Katy Perry, Ke$ha, Adam Lambert, and Justin Timberlake, among others. Due to its modern score, the play was one of the first to gather a diverse audience to West End.

Taking off from its epic shows from its various global appearances, tickets to the reimagined tale of Juliet are currently for sale and can be bought by accessing the links that are provided above this page.
