& Juliet at Music Hall at Fair Park

Moving away from the previous known story of Romeo & Juliet which debuted on stage roughly four centuries earlier, viewers have discerned the considerable changes that had been implemented to ‘& Juliet’, a significantly more recent show based on the same lead character. Shakespeare’s original plot revolves around the tragic events that occurs because of rash decision-making and the uncontrolled passion of two lovers, which results in the suicide of both Romeo and Juliet. On the other hand, ‘& Juliet’ looks beyond the said tragic tale and instead embraces a more positive outlook by embracing on the boundless possibilities of life, even after such agonizing experiences.

This messaging is evident in the new productionl’s cast of characters, Juliet, and her gang of friends, who travel to Paris and find their identities not just as individuals, but as strong women. ‘& Juliet’ is a good feminist perspective through the eyes of Shakespeare’s wife, Anne Hathaway, who takes command of her husband’s story and alters the ending of his popular classic. She gives both old characters from the original story a chance to shine, while bringing in new and equally capable women to the cast. Going off-script from Romeo & Juliet, the production is able to incorporate contemporary culture, specifically songs from recent generations, that encapsulate the growing awareness and self-discovery of each of the ladies throughout the show. Even the attire worn by the show’s ladies give a nod to Romeo & Juliet, while showing the contrast between the new production and the previous classic by contrasting Elizabethan dresses and iconography with today’s fashion styles. Each aspect of the production was carefully thought-out to promote empowerment and "being able to write your own story".
