What can Australians expect from the new musical &Juliet?

Australian audiences can expect a fresh and exciting take on the classic story of Romeo and Juliet when &Juliet the musical premieres. The show features a score composed of hit pop songs from the past several decades, re-imagined to fit the story and characters of Romeo and Juliet. The show’s creators, David West Read and Max Martin, have done an excellent job of using these popular songs to add energy and emotion to the classic tale.

David West Read is a playwright, screenwriter, and producer, known for his work on the television series “The Real O’Neals.” Max Martin is a Swedish songwriter, record producer, and singer. He is one of the most successful songwriters in the history of popular music, having written or co-written 22 Billboard Hot 100 number-one singles. He has collaborated with a wide range of artists, including Britney Spears, Taylor Swift, Maroon 5, Katy Perry, and many others.

Martin began his career as a singer and songwriter in the late 1980s and early 1990s in Sweden. He formed a band called It’s Alive and released several albums, but they failed to achieve commercial success. Martin then turned his focus to songwriting and production and started working with a number of different artists.

In the mid-1990s, Martin began working with the Swedish girl group, Ace of Base, and he wrote several of their hit songs. This led to him being in high demand as a songwriter and producer, and he began working with a wide range of international artists.

Martin has been credited with shaping the sound of pop music in the late 1990s and early 2000s, and he has been instrumental in the careers of many popular artists. He has also been recognized with numerous awards and accolades, including several Grammy Awards.

The show debuted in London in 2019, at the Shaftesbury Theatre. It was directed by Luke Sheppard and choreographed by Jennifer Weber, and starred Miriam-Teak Lee as Juliet and David Bedella as Tybalt. The musical has been praised for its fresh take on the classic story and for its strong female lead.

The musical features a score composed of hit pop songs from the past several decades, including tracks by Madonna, Taylor Swift, and the Spice Girls, as well as new original songs written by Max Martin. The show’s creators have re-imagined the lyrics of these songs to fit the story and characters of Romeo and Juliet.

In this version of the story, Juliet is portrayed as a confident and independent woman who takes control of her own destiny. The musical also explores themes of love, heartbreak, and the power of self-expression. The show has received positive reviews from critics and audiences, and it is expected to be a hit with Australian audiences as well.

Australian audiences can also expect high-energy choreography, stunning costumes and set design, and powerful performances from the cast. The musical has a talented team behind it and it is expected to be a visually stunning production.

Overall, &Juliet is a musical that appeals to both fans of Shakespeare and lovers of pop music. It is a fresh, upbeat and exciting take on a classic story that will leave the audience feeling uplifted and inspired.
