About the show: Shakespeare's tragic teenage heroine Juliet gets a second chance at life and love when she opts not to end it all over Romeo. Written by Emmy-winning Schitt's Creek writer David West Read, the show uses well-known pop songs by Max Martin in unexpected and hilarious ways, including iconic hits he penned for Kelly Clarkson, Katy Perry, Britney Spears, the Backstreet Boys, Céline Dion and Justin Timberlake, including "Since U Been Gone‚" "Roar," "Baby One More Time," "Larger Than Life‚" "That’s The Way It Is" and "Can't Stop the Feeling!" Maya Boyd headlines the production alongside NSYNC star Joey Fatone.

Slight adjustments to lighting and sound are made for the performance. There will be break areas staffed by specialists in the field in the mezzanine and downstairs theatre lobby in case any theatregoers need to leave their seats during the show. A downloadable Event Narrative with pictures of the theatre and the production will be available on this page, along with a Character Guide, a Logistics Guide and additional resources.
