& Juliet at Kansas City Music Hall

Utilizing state-of-the-art equipment and superb stage and seating construction, Music Hall Kansas City is just as modern as the show that will be performing on its stage.

The musical, filled with pop songs from the current generation and having its first showing less than 10 years ago, is a pioneer of the new ways that post-modern dramatic arts has to offer. The play's narrative, which focuses on Juliet breaking free from a "man's world" and what manner a girl should make the most of her life is a stark contrast from the story we have knowledge of in Romeo and Juliet; instead of her story ending in tragedy, Juliet and her companions make a deliberate choice to live, and independently at that.

William Shakespeare's original Romeo & Juliet ultimately highlights love as the story's main theme, especially both the benefits and consequences of true relationships. The reinvention of Juliet’s life in the jukebox musical however is a showcase of a woman's strength and living life on your own terms, all the while putting emphasis on the decisions which women make. The two varying concepts that arise from writings that were produced in two totally different time periods embody the extent which stagecraft and the stage's performances have improved over the past times.

The musical is effortlessly able to show its audience the changes between the two plays by using the characters of Shakespeare himself and Hathaway, his wife, who at key scenes during the two acts of the jukebox musical rewrite the play based on their opinions and what they feel should transpire for the female cast of characters. Those disagreements mixed with the separate sequences of Juliet's escape to Paris are said to be not just entertaining, but also very enlightening as the musical bridges the differences in messaging which is apparent in both the classic Shakespeare tragedy and the current play.

Whether an admirer of the old Romeo & Juliet or a new lover of theater, ‘& Juliet’ is something you can't miss for any theatergoer. The excellent play is a masterclass on how to use a unique twist to make a forgotten play and its characters very much for viewers of any generation.
