This Olivier Award-winning jukebox musical flips the script on the greatest love story ever told and asks, what would happen next if Juliet (Gerardine Sacdalan) didn’t end it all over Romeo?

Her story bursts to life through a playlist of pop anthems, including Britney Spears’ Baby One More Time, Katy Perry’s Roar and I Want It That Way by the Backstreet Boys.
