& Juliet – Musical at Thelma Gaylord Performing Arts Theatre

Appearing in Oklahoma on Saturday 3rd May 2025, Oklahoma City is having a production of the theater world’s crown jewel in post-modern playwriting, the show from West End, & Juliet, in its unrivaled entertainment location for show business, Thelma Gaylord PAT At Civic Center Music Hall . Utilizing advanced technology and brilliant stage and seating construction, Thelma Gaylord PAT At Civic Center Music Hall is just as fresh as the play that is produced inside its halls.

& Juliet, filled with pop songs from the current generation and having its first showing less than a decade ago, is a pioneer of the potential that modern staged plays could accomplish. The musical's storyline, which centers around women beating the odds of the expectations set by others of how a woman is required to act is a stark difference from the plot we have knowledge of in Romeo and Juliet; amidst meeting new people and lessons along the way, Juliet and her companions takes on a free choice to live for themselves, and independently at that.

Shakespeare’s original script expectedly highlights love as the plot's central subject, specifically both the highs and lows of true love. The continuation of Juliet’s history in the new musical though is a showcase of a woman's courage and unshackling yourself from what society wants, all the while putting attention on the decisions that women make. The two contrasting themes that arise from scripts which were written in two absolutely unalike generations manifest how much the dramatic arts and its narratives have adjusted in the past decades.

& Juliet is easily able to introduce to us the changes between the two plays through Shakespeare and his wife Anne Hathaway, who at key moments all throughout the running time of the jukebox musical rewrite the play based on their opinions and what they think should ensue for the main female lead. The disagreements mixed with the separate scenes of Juliet's escape to Paris demonstrate how the play is not just amusing, but also very educational as the play connects the contrasting themes that is apparent in both the previous Romeo & Juliet and the current musical.

Whether a fan of the old play by Shakespeare or a brand new lover of theater, this play is a must-watch for any theatergoer. The unforgettable musical shows the best way to put an innovative spin to make a forgotten tale and its characters much more relatable for audiences of any age.
