The Standard appears to give away the basic plot and some of the numbers:
"& Juliet imagines a life after Romeo and features songs including Britney’s "Oops...I Did It Again", Backstreet Boys’ "Everybody", The Weekend’s "I Can’t Feel My Face" and Ellie Goulding’s "Love Me Like You Do".
In the final scene of Shakespeare’s play, instead of taking her own life, Juliet decides to pick up and go to Paris with the Nurse and her friends".
Ooooooo @ryan, Jane can reprise her iconic role as the Nurse!

I’m going for an early preview ticket in Manchester. Hopefully the audience early on won’t be the traditional hen party crowd who can turn up and cause a lot of mither as I’ve experienced in a number of the Jukebox musicals. I’m really intrigued in how they are going to use the songs within the plot, particularly the Britney songs. Whatever happens, I’m sure there will be a good atmosphere once the music starts.

You can see why the producers thought this could work, but they fell at the first hurdle - the title! I'm not so sure. I'm a sucker for an ampersand. If they'd worked an interrobang in there as well then I'd be hooked for certain. |

That really does sound awful - as much as I was excited about Miriam getting a leading role, each thing I read makes me less excited and leaves me thinking "who on earth thought that was a good idea for a plot?!" |

There will be many discounts in the beginning. No one will be paying full price for at least a few months. I’t will try to get punters in. It will be at the half price booth and theatremonkey will have lots of discounts on his site.

How appropriate a former understudy ‘& Peggy’ goes on to star in ‘& Juliet’.

How appropriate a former understudy ‘& Peggy’ goes on to star in ‘& Juliet’. She was a cover for all the three sisters (and covered Anjelica much more often than other two) so the joke kinda fells flat. P. S. Don’t like jokes based on people being covers/understudies  |

Don’t like jokes based on people being covers/understudies I took this joke to be reference to Peggy going on in 42nd Street. If that was intended, then it is a BRILLIANT reference and does not fall flat but soars!!! PS I love jokes based on people being covers/understudies  |

The How is going for an audition and getting the part. The Why is going for the audition because you want the part Simple I meant How Do you know he went for the audition and apparently got the part ? Do people ask others like mrbarnaby and others “in the biz” to reveal their sources and knowledge? No. No they don’t. |

The post was not at all based on her being an understudy, just more pointing out the coincidence that she was previously playing a character colloquially named ‘& Peggy’ and is going on to play a character called ‘& Juliet’. |

No such deals at the Shaftesbury that I can see.
Max Bialystock and Leo Bloom must be programming this cos they've priced the entire stalls and dress circle at £85 bar the back 4 rows!
Only in the Grand Circle, and only at the back of that is there anything under £50! LOL. LOL. LOL.
I mean, they must WANT this to fail: "Springtime for Romeo!"
Unless Tom Hiddleston and Andrew Scott engage in a rap battle for Juliet's heart, they can bloody forget it! :0

Booked a ticket for Manchesterford. Premium seat row G Stalls for a Saturday night £55 and no fees with ATG membership.
Much better value.

The concept doesn't sound good enough for me to want to pay full price so far in advance! |

Row F stalls ticket for £25 and no booking fees with ATG card for the 1st Sat matinee preview at Manchester. Can’t complain at that. I was expecting higher prices.

Just had a listen to Miriam singing Baby One More Time and I’m rather impressed! Will definitely wait for offers before booking though

Is that the best pic they could find? She looks awkward. Is it just me? |

Particularly it's a very smart idea to cast Cassidy and Oliver, as both have alot of fans in the theatre world.
