If you’re struggling to get tickets to Tom Holland and Francesca Amewudah-Rivers’ Romeo & Juliet here in London, consider taking a trip across the pond to New York — where The Hunger Games: The Ballad Of Songbirds And Snakes’ Rachel Zegler and Heartstopper’s Kit Connor are putting their own spin on Shakespeare’s classic. Directed by Sam Gold, the production marks the two stars’ Broadway debuts, and will feature music by Grammy Award winner Jack Antonoff as well as movement by Sonya Tayeh (known for Moulin Rouge! The Musical). With the tagline, “The Youth are Fucked,” we have a feeling this interpretation is going to have a bit of fire.
Tickets for Romeo + Juliet go on sale this May.
