Strapped with surprising characters alongside her, the journey they go through together is completely different from what you usually find in Shakespeare’s work.
It’s so refreshing to see casting that is inclusive of all people of color and race. Casting the talented Miriam-Teak Lee as Juliet was the greatest choice. Her performance is absolutely outstanding and refreshing. It’s an all rounded performance with many surprises and acceptance towards the other. Exactly what today’s society need to see more of.
The songs throughout the show are spot on. You wouldn’t believe how well modern-time pop songs can fit with a story from the 1500s. They get a new meaning that fits so well with the story, paired together perfectly and gracefully. I’ve never imagined hearing Britney Spears or Backstreet Boys songs in a musical, let alone a musical based on Shakespeare’s work.
And that’s exactly why it works.
