Watch the '& Juliet' Broadway cast perform on 'America's Got Talent'
The musical will play the Stephen Sondheim Theatre in New York.
The & Juliet Broadway cast gave a larger-than-life performance on America's Got Talent on September 7 ahead of the show's Broadway opening. After premiering in London, & Juliet will start performances at the Stephen Sondheim Theatre on October 28.
With a book by Schitt's Creek writer David West Read and music by multi-Grammy Award-winning songwriter Max Martin, & Juliet gives a classic Shakespeare heroine a new lease on life. The musical imagines what would happen if Juliet didn't die at the end of Romeo and Juliet, and in this empowering tale, she travels to Paris, finds new friendships and romances, and discovers who she is as a woman independent of Romeo.
Thirty of Martin's biggest pop hits are included in the musical, including Britney Spears's "Oops... I Did It Again," The Backstreet Boys's ""I Want It That Way," Kelly Clarkson's "Since U Been Gone," and Bon Jovi's "It's My Life." On America's Got Talent, the & Juliet cast, led by Lorna Courtney as Juliet, performed Katy Perry's "Roar." Watch the performance and the official & Juliet Broadway trailer below, and then get tickets to see the cast roar live.
