AUDITION NOTICE: &Juliet - Beenleigh Theatre Group

Title: & Juliet

Presented By: Beenleigh Theatre Group

Genre: Jukebox Musical / Romantic Comedy

Synopsis: From the Emmy-winning writer of Schitt’s Creek, & Juliet flips the script on the greatest love story ever told. What if Juliet didn’t end it all over Romeo? This vibrant reimagining follows Juliet as she ditches her famous ending for a new beginning – her way – travelling to Paris with her friends, discovering love, friendship, and self-empowerment along the way.

Packed with pop anthems from legendary songwriter Max Martin – including Since U Been Gone, Roar, Baby One More Time, Larger Than Life, That’s The Way It Is, and Can’t Stop the Feeling! – this feel-good, high-energy musical proves there’s life after Romeo, and the only tragedy is missing it.
