A comedic spin on William Shakespeare’s romantic tragedy, Juliet and Romeo centers on a second-rate contemporary author who finds himself transported to the city of Verona in Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, where he attempts to change the Bard’s original ending. 

​

Juliet and Romeo was created by Paul Gordon, a Tony Award nominee for his music for Jane Eyre and Curtis Moore, an Emmy Award nominee for original song for Amazon’s The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.

​

Produced by the UC Davis Department of Theatre and Dance and Catalyst: A Theatre Think Tank (C3T) in a special collaboration with Southern Utah University’s (SUU) Department of Theatre and Dance.
