The acclaimed musical '& Juliet' will make its Philippine debut in 2027, promising to bring its vibrant energy and innovative narrative to the Manila stage.

This production, a reimagination of Shakespeare's iconic character Juliet, takes a bold approach by exploring her potential beyond the traditional ending of 'Romeo and Juliet'.

Set against a backdrop of pop music, the show features a score by Grammy Award-winning songwriter Max Martin, known for hits from artists like Britney Spears and Katy Perry.
