Exciting New Musical & Juliet Hits the Road: A Twist on a Classic!

Exciting New Musical “& Juliet” Hits the Road: A Twist on a Classic!

Get ready, Greenville! The vibrant musical & Juliet is embarking on its national tour and is set to dazzle our community with eight exciting performances from October 15 to October 20 at the renowned Peace Center. This spectacular show is not your everyday rendition of Shakespeare, but rather a fresh spin that asks the intriguing question: What if Juliet never died?

A Fresh Take on Shakespeare’s Classic

As the opening night of Romeo and Juliet unfolds, we find ourselves in the middle of a fascinating rewrite. Instead of the tragic ending that we all know too well, Shakespeare’s wife, Anne Hathaway (no, not the actress you’ll find on the big screen!), proposes an alternative plot that allows Juliet to live on. What happens when this star-crossed lover gets the chance to explore life beyond her passionate but doomed romance?

The show takes us on a journey with Juliet as she breaks free from the shadows of Romeo, experiencing a world filled with laughter, adventure, and self-discovery. It’s all about girl power, as Juliet becomes a strong, independent woman who navigates various escapades and challenges typically reserved for her male counterparts. According to Teal Wicks, the talented actress portraying Anne Hathaway, the musical beautifully explores human emotions while addressing gender norms, making it relatable to today’s audiences.

Music That Sparks Joy

One of the standout features of & Juliet is its catchy soundtrack, packed with iconic pop-rock songs that will have you singing along in no time! The music is crafted by none other than the legendary Max Martin, who has penned hits for mega-stars like the Backstreet Boys, Britney Spears, Demi Lovato, Katy Perry, and more. This means you can expect to hear familiar tunes like “Larger Than Life,” “Since U Been Gone,” and “It’s My Life” performed in exciting new ways that will leave you amazed!

The diverse cast of about two dozen actors brings these popular songs to life with rich harmonies and high-energy performances. The gorgeous blending of music and story not only captures the essence of the original Shakespearean work, but also invites a younger generation into the fold. With music that spans an impressive three decades, this show truly offers something for everyone, making it perfect for family outings or a fun night out with friends.

What You Need to Know

So, you might be wondering how to be part of this exciting spectacle. Tickets are available for $50-$100, depending on your seating choice. It’s a great opportunity to witness a truly unique performance that’s full of laughter, tears, and empowerment!

Mark your calendars and grab your friends and family for performances at the Peace Center. For tickets or more information, you can call 864-467-3000 or check out the Peace Center’s website.
