The Last Goodbye at The Old Globe

A musical adaptation of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet featuring the emotional and gorgeous songs of Jeff Buckley, directed by the brightest star in today’s Broadway theatre.

That light in yonder window is still the east and Juliet is still the sun...but the sound in her bedchamber is all new: the sweeping, powerful, and extraordinarily beautiful songs of the late rock icon Jeff Buckley. This unique work of theatre is a remarkable fusion of the classic and the modern, melding Shakespeare’s tragedy, in its original text and period, with some of the most passionate rock music of the past 20 years, staged with limitless invention by one of the true stage visionaries at work today.
