& Juliet is a jukebox musical that reimagines Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet with a fresh, hopeful ending. The story begins with the first performance of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. His wife, Anne Hathaway, visits from Stratford-upon-Avon and suggests changing the ending so Juliet does not kill herself when she finds Romeo dead. Shakespeare resists at first, but Anna explains her vision: Juliet wakes to find Romeo gone, learns of his other relationships, and her parents decide to send her to a convent. The musical blends Shakespearean romance with modern pop music, celebrating love, friendship, and self-determination.
