& Juliet, filled with pop songs from the current generation and premiering less than a decade ago, highlights all of the new ways that modern staged plays has to offer.

The reimagining of Juliet’s history in the jukebox musical however is a showcase of a woman's courage and living life on your own terms, while still placing importance in the decisions which you make. The two contrasting concepts that come from writings which were produced in two absolutely disparate generations show how much the dramatic arts and musical performances have improved in the past decades.

The disagreements interjected with the actual segments of Juliet's coming-of-age story demonstrate how the play is not just riveting, but also very educational as it bridges the contrasting themes which is evident in both the previous Shakespearean play and the ongoing musical.
