Briarcliff has unveiled the official trailer for the musical Juliet & Romeo [VERAJ] based on the tragedy by William Shakespeare. Clara Rugaard and Jamie Ward star as the titled characters while Jason Isaacs [JISAA], Dan Fogler [DFOGL],Wilson [RBWIL] and Rupert Everett [REVER] round out the cast. Directed by Timothy Scott Bogart, Juliet & Romeo opens wide in theaters on May 9th.
Set in 1301 at the end of Medieval times, the Juliet & Romeo franchise finds our most famous Star-Crossed lovers turning the tides on the history Shakespeare based his own story on, as they reveal the truth to the very future of the Empire. But the biggest twist in this most beloved of tales is leaving the poetry of Iambic Pentameter in the past, for the original Pop Music that rockets these ever-present themes right to the heart of our characters in the most surprising, and perhaps most powerful way that has ever been seen—or heard—before.
