Hit Broadway Musical, Nominated For Nine Tony Awards, Sets Closing Date on Broadway After Four Years: ‘We’re Incredibly Proud of the Run We’ve Had’

The critically acclaimed jukebox musical, & Juliet, has officially set a closing date on Broadway after four years in New York’s premier theatre district.

According to Playbill, & Juliet will play its final show at the Stephen Sondheim Theatre on January 3, 2027.

At its scheduled closing date, the show will have played a total of 1,723 regular performances and 20 previews, closing as one of the 50 longest-running musicals in Broadway history.

As fans of the show might remember, & Juliet offers an inventive twist on William Shakespeare’s classic story of star-crossed lovers. Upending the narrative of Romeo and Juliet, & Juliet finds Shakespeare and his wife Anne Hathaway debating the ending of the Bard’s famed tragedy, providing Juliet with a series of new endings that take place after the events of Romeo and Juliet.

A sensational jukebox musical, some of the songs featured in the show include Backstreet Boys’ “I Want It That Way,” Britney Spears’ “… Baby One More Time,” Katy Perry’s “I Kissed a Girl” and Kelly Clarkson’s “Since U Been Gone.”

Originally premiering in the United Kingdom in 2019, the show eventually opened on Broadway in 2022. Over the course of its run, the show earned a total of nine Tony Award nominations, including Best Musical, Best Actress and Best Choreography.

“From the very beginning, & Juliet has been winning over audiences and critics alike, shattering every stereotype about jukebox musicals to deliver a smart, funny, heartfelt story— all while sparking true joy in everyone who sees it,” producers Theresa Steele Page and Eva Price said of the show’s closing. “We’re incredibly proud of the run we’ve had on Broadway, and the story of inclusion, acceptance and second chances we’ve been able to share with more than 1.5 million people in our four years on Broadway.”

Prior to playing on Broadway, the West End version of the show earned similarly warm reviews from theatergoers in the UK. At the 2020 Olivier Awards, the show received nine award nominations, winning a total of three, including Best Actress in a Musical.
