& Juliet at Orpheum Theatre San Francisco

Coming to California on Friday 4th July 2025, San Francisco is now welcoming the better half of Romeo showcased in post-modern playwriting, the play from Broadway, & Juliet, in its ultimate theater spot for the dramatic arts, Orpheum Theatre. Boasting advanced hardware and brilliant technical capacity, Orpheum Theatre is just as modern as the play that is presented inside its halls.

& Juliet, considered sensational by critics and premiering not more than 10 years ago, stands as a testament to the possibilities that modern dramatic arts has to offer. The play's story, which centers around our main female lead breaking free from a "man's world" and how a lady is expected to live her life is a stark contrast from the tragedy we have ingrained from Shakespeare's original classic; in the course of her story unfolding, Juliet and her companions decides on a deliberate way to live their own lives, and on their own at that.

William Shakespeare's late script expectedly revolves around love as the play's main trope, especially both the benefits and consequences of passionate relationships. The continuation of Juliet’s life in the new musical however is all about a woman's courage and taking control of your own fate, while still putting attention on the decisions that you make. The two differing concepts that come from scripts that were produced in two totally unalike generations embody how much theater and the stage's narratives have improved in the past decades.

The musical is able to introduce to us the changes between the two plays through Shakespeare himself and his wife Anne Hathaway, who at several times throughout the running time of ‘& Juliet’ argue constantly about what should ensue for Juliet and her friends. The scenes interjected with the other scenes of Juliet and her friends in Paris demonstrate how the play is not just amusing, but also very educational as it connects the contrasting themes which is present in both the classic Romeo & Juliet and the current ’& Juliet’.

Whether a fan of the old Romeo & Juliet or a new lover of theater, ‘& Juliet’ is something you can't miss for any audience member. The second to none play shows the best way to put an inventive angle to make a forgotten story and its individuals much more for viewers of any generation.
