"I went in thinking my wife and daughter would love it based on the description. So I wasn't really expecting to like it myself. My wife and daughter asked to leave halfway through. Similar to the Disney's approach to advertise Strange World without any hints of the gay romance that is central to the plot and then just have you find out in the show, it's kind of the same here. The reality is we saw more prolonged kissing in this show than all the shows we'd seen combined, and they were all Gay/Queer kisses. It's largely a queer pride story. If that's your jam, sweet. You should see it! However, for my wife and daughter, they didn't find it that relatable. I know many folks are big supporters and love it. So if that's the case, you should go see it. If it's not your thing, then now you know.
To top it off, Juliet's singing (on the night we went to see it), wasn't quite as good as some of the shows we'd seen. So that actually surprised me. "

The talent was mediocre and storyline was awful
"There were a few good singers. We enjoyed seeing Joey Fatone, and Juliet was really talented, but everyone else was mediocre or just drab. The storyline was awful. It’s sad to spend so much money on nice seats, and it’s the first show in NYC that’s we’ve ever left at intermission. While there were tons of kids, I would not say it’s appropriate for kids at all. I could hear the children behind me in shock, and they were forcefully pushing a sexual agenda. It felt more like a political rally than just enjoying a great show. Very disappointing for adults and children. Don’t take them please. Unnecessary foul language and vulgar. I wish I could get my time and money back. "

My High Expectations were Sorely Unmet!
"This show is not good. It is very hard to make a good comedy on Broadway and this one failed massively. No indication what time period this play takes place because it references the past but has modern items in it like the actors on stage wearing headphones that would not have existed then. Very convoluted because it includes too many substories (does not go deep enough into any one of them) and the musical is very lazy in its use of songs, i.e. not a lot of creativity. There are also some sexual innuendos that are inappropriate for young children. My expectations were high in that I thought it would be like the play Six. If you'd like to see a fun woman-empowering play, that one is MUCH better!!!!!"

Woke on steroids
"This was more about political messaging a variety of grievance topics than making and performing a great play. There were some very talented people and beautiful voices, plus some comedically cheeky and funny scenes, but all that got drowned out with the lack of a cohesive story heavily interspersed with trans messaging, gender discussions, boys who want to be girls kissing boys, and odd women's empowerment pushes. If that's your thing, go for it! "

Not For Everyone
"Great music and dancing and a clever story line. However, if you share the biblical view of homosexuality then this show is not for you. It got preachy right away about trans rights and there an entire act where two males fall in love and have an extend kiss. We left at intermission "

Derivative, uninspired, insipid drivel
"This is the cheapest and weakest of all jukebox musicals. The song selection is so “on-the-nose” that even ChatGPT would be embarrassed. It’s KidzBop live. &Juliet what? Freed of Romeo, what does she do or want? Two full acts - lots of bad karaoke - for Juliet to only end up with Romeo in the end. Who is Juliet without a man? Just a girl in search of a man. "

Not my favorite Play…
"As I read the reviews for this play they all were good, it said that it was family friendly. So I felt that it would be a good fit for me and my family. As the show began it soon became apparent that it eas not family friendly. It is a cute idea and I was excited about it but as the play went on the focus became more about a gay relationship, gender identity. with a major focus on sex. Which is not something I would want my 8 year old to watch. The music is fun but the storyline was not a good fit for me and my family. We ended up leaving halfway through. "

About
& Juliet
& Juliet flips the script on the greatest love story ever told, imagining what would happen next if Juliet hadn’t ended it all over Romeo, and got a second chance at life and love – on her terms. Juliet’s new story bursts to life through a playlist of pop anthems as iconic as her name, all written by Max Martin and his collaborators, including “Since U Been Gone,” “Roar,” “Baby One More Time,” “Larger Than Life,” “That’s The Way It Is,” “Can’t Stop the Feeling,” and many more.
