& Juliet at Academy of Music

Boasting the best possible hardware and amazing stage and seating construction, Academy Of Music is just as fresh as the show that is soon to be presented inside its halls.

The musical, filled with pop songs from the current generation and debuting less than a decade ago, stands as a testament to the potential that post-modern theater could accomplish. The play's storyline, which revolves around Juliet overcoming a "man's world" and how a woman is required to act is a great contrast from the plot we have ingrained from Romeo and Juliet; instead of her story ending in tragedy, Juliet and the women in the story decides on a conscious way to live for themselves, and on their own at that.

William Shakespeare's late Romeo & Juliet ultimately revolves around love as the play's central subject, specifically both the benefits and consequences of true love. The reinvention of Juliet’s history in ‘& Juliet’ however is a tale of a woman's courage and unshackling yourself from what society wants, while putting emphasis on the choices which you make. The two differing concepts which arise from writings that were written in two totally different generations show how much theater and its narratives have adjusted over the past years.

The musical is effortlessly able to present to us the aforementioned developments through William Shakespeare and his wife, who at several moments throughout the two acts of the musical rewrite the play based on their opinions and what they feel should ensue for the main female lead. The scenes mixed with the other segments of Juliet and her friends in Paris prove to be not just riveting, but also very enlightening as the play connects the contrasting themes that is present in both the original Shakespearean play and the ongoing musical.
