& Juliet, being one of the newest additions to theater and premiering not more than a decade ago, highlights all of the possibilities that modern dramatic arts can achieve.

William Shakespeare's classic script naturally revolves around love as the play's main subject, specifically both the highs and lows of intense relationships. The continuation of Juliet’s life in ‘& Juliet’ however is a tale of empowerment and living life on your own terms, while still placing importance in the decisions which women make. The two contrasting tropes which stem from writings that were produced in two totally different time periods show at what level theater and its narratives have improved in the past decades.

These scenes mixed with the actual sequences of Juliet and her friends in Paris prove to be not just riveting, but also outright educational as the musical links the generational gap which is present in both the previous Shakespeare tragedy and the ongoing play.
