B'way Update: Romeo and Juliet Sets Date, Theater

Kit Connor and Rachel Zegler

The Sam Gold-directed revival of Romeo and Juliet starring Kit Connor (Heartstopper) and Rachel Zegler (Steven Speilberg's West Side Story) has announced a theater and production dates. This 37th Broadway production of Shakespeare's classic of star-crossed lovers will begin performances at the Circle in the Square on Sept. 26 prior to an Oct. 24 opening. The production will feature music by Jack Antonoff, best known for his collaborations with Taylor Swift. Sonya Tayeh, Tony winning choreographer of Moulin Rouge, is credited with movement. Meanwhile, the West End production of R&J starring Tom Holland and Francesca Amewudah-Rivers and directed by Jamie Lloyd does not appear to be moving to Broadway when it completes its sold-out run as has been previously rumored. But you never know. Tom Holland's Spider-Man box office appeal may inspire producers to try it in 2025-26.
