The production, directed by Sam Gold, will be heading to Broadway this Autumn.
It has been announced that Heartstopper star Kit Connor and West Side Story Golden Globe winner Rachel Zegler are set to lead the cast in the Broadway revival of Shakespeare’s Romeo & Juliet this Autumn at a theatre yet to be announced. Both are making their Broadway debuts.
The new production is set to feature music by Grammy-winner Jack Antonoff and movement by Sonya Tayeh.
The youth are f*cked. Left to their own devices in their parents’ world of violent ends, an impulsive pair of star-crossed lovers hurtle towards their inescapable fate. The intoxicating high of passion quickly descends into a brutal chaos that can only end one way.
Further cast members and creative team for the production have yet to be announced, with tickets going on sale next month.
