Her film credits include Easy A, Bandslam, Sequoia and Weepah Way for Now. On television, she starred in The CW’s Hellcats and iZombie and has appeared in The Good Doctor, MacGyver and Two and a Half Men.

His other Broadway credits include Hamilton, Spamalot and his Tony Award-winning performance as Genie in Aladdin.
& Juliet stars Gianna Harris as Juliet, with Spencer Sutherland as Romeo, Corey Mach as Shakespeare, Cyrus Veyssi as May and Anthony Gargiula as François.
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.
As previously announced, & Juliet will play its final performance at Broadway's Stephen Sondheim Theatre on January 3, 2027.
