Ready to dazzle theaters at the start of May in a month from now. Fall in love with Shakespeare’s iconic tale all over again, with brand-new, visionary movie-musical, Juliet & Romeo. In an epic journey of battles and betrayal, set amidst the birth of the Italian Renaissance and wars that would end the Middle Ages, prepare for the world’s most renowned lovers to turn the tides on history as we know it. Leaving the poetry of iambic pentameter in the past, and packed with original songs and music created by the Grammy-winner Evan Kidd Bogart (Beyonce’s “Halo” / Rihanna’s “SOS”), this creative twist on the theatrical classic features an incredible cast including Clara Rugaard & Jamie Ward as Juliet & Romeo, plus Rebel Wilson, Rupert Everett, Jason Isaacs, Rupert Graves, Dan Fogler, and Derek Jacobi.
