Ben Jackson Walker returns to Broadway’s & Juliet on August 13 as Romeo, the role which he originated in the Toronto and Broadway productions and reprised on the U.K. tour. Walker succeeds Liam Pearce at the Stephen Sondheim Theatre. His screen credits include the upcoming Just Picture It, Honor Society, Orange is the New Black and Evil.
Mach joins current cast members Gianna Harris as Juliet, Alison Luff as Anne, Corey Mach as Shakespeare, Michael Iván Carrier as May, Chrissy Metz as Angélique and Nathan Levy as François. Joey Fatone and Paulo Szot alternate in the role of Lance.
Created by David West Read and directed by Luke Sheppard with choreography by Jennifer Weber, & Juliet flips the script on Shakespeare’s tragedy, imagining what would happen if Juliet hadn’t ended it all over Romeo and instead got a second chance at life and love—on her own terms. & Juliet features a soundtrack jam-packed with superproducer Max Martin’s catalogue of pop hits, including "Since U Been Gone," "Teenage Dream," "...Baby One More Time," "I Want It That Way" and more.
