The works of William Shakespeare have been adapted in a variety of different ways. With the 2025 new movie Juliet & Romeo, that now includes a pop-musical adaptation.
If that sounds familiar, there was the recent Broadway musical & Juliet, but that spun the story off into a new direction following the events of Shakespeare’s classic play and was a jukebox musical using established pop hits. Juliet & Romeo is a retelling of the classic story of Romeo and Juliet, but it is replacing Shakespeare’s words and Iambic Pentameter with original pop music.
