Besides terrific accolades, &Juliet bagged a plethora of astounding reviews from professional theater critics – we are talking about authorities of Broadway and West End! For starters, Variety raved about the epic in its glowing review, “certainly a surprising and unexpected juxtaposition.  While there is every reason to be skeptical of a Shakespearean jukebox musical, “& Juliet” makes it work remarkably well.” The writer went on to laud Max Martin’s excellent score, “He’s basically the Shakespeare of pop music. At the very least his catalog is unquestionably impressive — and his songs make for a surprisingly fantastic jukebox musical.”
