Romeo and Juliet - 2013 Broadway History , Info & More
Richard Rodgers Theatre (Broadway)
226 W. 46th St. New York, NY 10036
The stars of screen and stage align as Orlando Bloom (Pirates of the Caribbean) and Tony Award Nominee Condola Rashad (Stick Fly) take on the roles of Shakespeare’s legendary star-crossed lovers, ROMEO AND JULIET.
The most famous love story ever told returns to Broadway for the first time in 36 years in a stunning new production from five-time Tony nominee David Leveaux. Jealousy. Prejudice. Betrayal. And the chance that true love could actually conquer all. That’s Romeo and Juliet.
When you get to the theater, make sure to share the love! Patrons are encouraged to bring locks to hang on our #RJLOVELOCK fence outside of our theater. Patrons can also check into ROMEO AND JULIET on Broadway on Facebook and receive a free lock from the merchandise stand.

FEATURED REVIEWS FOR Romeo and Juliet
Romeo and Juliet
6 / 10
Chemistry is what you look for in the title pairing, and that's noticeably lacking here. Rashad is always lovely and effortlessly charming, but she's been encouraged to play up the textual fact that Juliet is a mere 13. Thus she's all dewy innocence and saucer eyes, line readings stuck too high in a girlish register. Bloom conveys a slightly older hipster (which gives the romance a provocative, asymmetrical twist), while embracing Romeo's foppish, self-loving side. We don't get many revivals of the classic on professional stages, so it's safe to say that Bloom's swaggering, matinee-idol Romeo will be the most engaging you'll see in years. But this is also the least erotically charged or sexually frank Romeo and Juliet I've ever attended.
‘Romeo and Juliet,’ theater review
6 / 10
Bloom throws himself thoroughly into the role of the lovestruck Italian - ticket-holders get to see him shirtless, climbing walls and flexing his gymnastic abilities. More importantly, he speaks Shakespeare's poetry capably. But he lacks the gravity to really grab you. Together, he and Rashad are warm, not hot. If Romeo and Juliet don't blaze, why bother?
