& Juliet | Official Broadway Trailer
&Juliet Broadway
Light weight, comic book comedy. Very funny, I recognized some of the tunes, but the body of the songs sounded very different than the version you hear on the radio. Here it was mostly full vocal chorus, with not so much emphasis on the instrumental portion.
& Juliet is a 2019 coming-of-age jukebox musical featuring the music of Swedish pop songwriter Max Martin, with a book by David West Read. The story focuses on a "what if" scenario, where Juliet decided not to kill herself at the end of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet.- Wikipedia
