🎶 Juliet & Romeo (2025) — A Star-Crossed Love Story Reimagined for a New Generation
In theaters May 9, the timeless tale of forbidden love gets an electrifying new twist with Juliet & Romeo, an epic romantic musical that blends Shakespearean drama with original pop music and modern-day energy. Directed and written by Timothy Scott Bogart, this reimagining is not just a retelling—it’s a rebellion against history itself.
💔 Not the Story You Thought You Knew
Set in 1301, during the waning days of the Medieval era, Juliet & Romeo pulls back the curtain on the true story behind the legend. This time, Juliet and Romeo aren’t simply doomed lovers—they’re game-changers, set on revealing the secrets that shaped the very future of the Empire.
Gone is the iambic pentameter, replaced with the emotional firepower of original pop music that propels the narrative in bold and unforgettable ways. Imagine the drama of Shakespeare with the pulse of a chart-topping soundtrack—and you’re just starting to understand the magic of this film.
⭐ A Dazzling Ensemble Cast
The film brings together a strikingly modern and diverse cast:
Clara Rugaard as Juliet — strong, soulful, and determined to change her fate.
Jamie Ward as Romeo — not just a dreamer, but a fighter.
Jason Isaacs as the formidable Lord Montague.
Rebel Wilson as a scene-stealing Lady Capulet.
Dan Fogler as the eccentric Apothecary.
Tayla Parx as Rosaline, offering a fresh perspective on the love triangle.
Rupert Graves, Ferdia Walsh-Peelo, Derek Jacobi, Ledisi, and many more round out a cast that mixes gravitas, musicality, and humor in perfect harmony.
🎵 Music That Moves the Story Forward
The heart of Juliet & Romeo beats in its music—original compositions by E. Kidd Bogart, which bring out the passion, tension, and longing of the story with an edge that’s thoroughly 21st century. Expect anthemic ballads, soulful duets, and genre-blending tracks that drive the narrative and give each character their own voice—literally.
