About & Juliet in brief
2019 musical features the music of Max Martin, with a book by David West Read. The story focuses on what would have happened if Juliet hadn’t died at the end of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. Juliet’s parents decide to send her to a convent. May, Juliet’s non-binary friend, and Angelique, her nurse, come to her rescue. Anne writes herself into the play as ‘April’, another of Juliet’s friends. Juliet tells April that she is engaged again, only to have Romeo enter and declare he has come back for his wife. Romeo sings ‘Love Me Like You Do’ to Juliet and forgives her for not killing herself. She reveals to Romeo her engagement with Francois. May grows angry at Francois for ignoring his feelings for them and for intending to marry Juliet.
Romeo confesses his love to May, with Francois singing ‘It’s Gonna Gonna Be Me’ Juliet returns to Verona with her parents to insist she returns to her parents, but they insist that they know what’s best for her. Angelique and Lance are revealed to have spent the night together, and Lance asks her to come back and live with him. In the meantime, Juliet is still in love with Romeo and recounts her own romance with Shakespeare. At the wedding, Juliet walks down the aisle as Lance and Juliet perform as Love Me Long as You Do. Francois, Lance, and Juliet accept their love, which refutes Juliet’s belief that Lance is an obstacle to their relationship.
