Take a Tantalizing First Look at Broadway's Romeo and Juliet, Starring Orlando Bloom and Condola Rashad

In fair Verona New York City, where we lay our scene, the contemporary revival of Romeo and Juliet has landed on Broadway, and we’ve got a first look at this exciting production, photographed by Carol Rosegg. Directed by five-time Tony nominee David Leveaux, this Main Stem mounting of Shakespeare's tragedy tells the story of two young "star-cross'd lovers" whose families are locked in a bitter feud. They try to defy the circumstances that forbid their love, but with heartbreaking results. Starring Orlando Bloom (in his Broadway debut) as Romeo Montague and two-time Tony nominee Condola Rashad as Juliet Capulet, the modern revival also features Tony winners Brent Carver and Chuck Cooper, two-time Tony nominee Jayne Houdyshell, Christian Camargo and Justin Guarini.
