& Juliet - Opera House MCR / Shaftesbury / U.K.Tour

Indeed, thank you Sean .

akh Regardless of what some shows may allow regarding recording and photos (I know &juliet have tweeted that it’s ok to take pics of the bows) , it’s not possible for the mods here to stay on top of all of the various arrangements for different shows.
So we have a policy of no unofficial pics across the board, it’s a rule that everyone has become familiar with and it would be confusing to start having caveats. Thanks for your understanding.

Saw this last. night, Now I’m a miserable old devil in my 60s and it’s not my type of music at all. But I loved it! So much fun and all the cast, especially the leads were fantastic. Would highly recommend. Five stars from me!!

Not necessary because they’re wrong anyway

Saw this tonight thanks to the generosity of a fellow board member - thank you POL!
The show - wow, it really is something! The audience were lapping it up and as each number started came the giggles of recognition.
This cast is universally excellent, Miriam is of course brilliant and Cassidy and Melanie giving great turns.
Great design, nice and loud too!
I loved the twist end of act one - I didn’t actually see that one coming (although the visuals from the trailer make sense now)

If there’s anything that could be changed, the ending could be a bit tighter maybe, they didn’t seem to know how to wrap it up and it started to feel like a rush to get the songs in.

5 stars though, and I can’t wait to go again!
I have a feeling this will become a big word of mouth hit. I was definitely sceptical when it was first announced but think this could be in for a healthy run.

I had a hugely enjoyable time at the Shaftesbury Theatre last night. I can only concur with previous posters who have liked this - thanks for the recommendations as it is a show that I normally would not have considered "my thing", being essentially a juke box musical.

Visually spectacular with great sets, costumes, lighting, sound and special effects with a truly talented cast of musical theatre performers who all looked to be having a blast up there. Miriam-Teak Lee was sensational as Juliet and deserves to be a star.

I enjoyed the witty book and the way the songs were integrated into the story eliciting giggles and laughter as the opening bars of the song was played to illustrate the situation. Some funny lyric changes too to fit the "plot" which is full of feminine empowerment and us poor guys get a drubbing much to the delight of the female audience. I did think the first act was stronger than the second though as the show dipped after the interval and the show seemed to have nowhere to go.

Who knows why shows are hits or misses but this show deserves to be a hit. Spectacular, brilliantly performed and sung, funny and with a very "on trend" message about the role of women in relationships.

A great Christmas theatre treat especially if panto isn't your thing.

A genuine standing ovation from 90% of the theatre which appeared to be full, although a lot of people on deals I think like me.

5 wickedgrin stars for the show but only 2 stars for the audience behaviour - this show will attract the worst kind of behaviour unfortunately - so be warned. Last night amidst the usual eating, talking and numerous trips to the loo during the show, a lady in front of me and to my left applied her make up, in the dark, during act two with a mirror compact which swivelled (magnified one side, normal the other) - the stage lights bouncing off it. It must have looked like some sort of morse code signal from the stage!!

Yes he is great, wins the audience over straight away.
Love the sound design. It’s nice and loud which I love for a musical, often find things a bit tame.

I wonder what led them to choose the songs they did. One thought when I was on the tube back was “hmm I wonder if Max Martin wrote My Life Would Suck Without You”, and he did!

I’m surprised we didn’t get Swifts “We are never getting back together”

Raise Your Glass would have fit in so well too.
Shows how many great songs he has written.

I had to check the show website to see which part he played as the only names familiar to me were those of Cassidy Janson  and David Bedella - neither of whom I had realised was in this but I recognised the latter instantly.  What was particularly enjoyable was the great voices all the leads had - really pleasant to listen to - unlike at some shows I've seen where I've winced; also worried for them when some performers seemed to be struggling to sing.

This is giving me major Glee vibes and I am not mad about it at all.

Had lots of fun at this tonight. Can see it going down very well with several old school friends.

Very much a jukebox musical - It could probably lose a couple of songs from the first act as they do get quite samey.

Cast knock it out of the park though.

Surprised how poor their website is:
andjulietthemusical.co.uk/

Seems like it hasn't been updated since the announcement.

Bizarrely, I have a different version on mobile to desktop. The desktop version still just has the "Coming to London from November 2019

Public on sale Monday 11 February"
Mobile version is a more realised site.

The mobile version and desktop version for me are both up to date. As Rukaya said it is likely your cache. If you clear that you will then have the up to date version of the site.
