Synopsis:
The most famous love story of all time....Remixed. & JULIET is the
hilarious and fun-loving hit Broadway musical that asks: what if
Juliet’s famous ending was really just her beginning? What if she
decided to choose her own fate? Soaring with pop anthems from the
catalogue of Max Martin, including ...Baby One More Time, Everybody
(Backstreet's Back), Since U Been Gone and Can’t Feel My Face, &
JULIET is a riotous blast of fun and glorious music that proves when it
comes to love, there’s always life after Romeo...
Juliet (early
20s, any ethnicity). The overprotected daughter of the Capulets, limited
in her experience of love, but also an unfailingly optimistic
rebel-in-waiting. Juliet will challenge social conventions of female
modesty and decorum — not a docile, obedient girl, but a confident,
independent woman — as she learns to own her choices and love herself
for who she truly is. Vocal range: G3 - minimum top D5 belt, strong mix
to F5.
Anne/April (30s – mid 40s, any ethnicity) The
strong-willed wife of Shakespeare who doubles as Juliet’s best friend.
Older than her husband, and in many ways wiser, she is his biggest fan,
but also his sharpest critic. Recognizing the parallels between Romeo
& Juliet and her own life, Anne’s determination to see Juliet
persevere is deeply personal. As she writes herself into the new play as
April, we see the fun-loving side of Anne that she hasn’t explored in
years. Vocal range: G3 - top D5 full belt.
