As part of New Adventures' ambition to support the next generation of on-stage talent "ROMEO AND JULIET" will feature the finest emerging male and female dancers from around the UK. The search began in April 2018 with a call-out for young dancers currently in training aged between 16 and 19. Attracting over 1000 applications and following a UK-wide audition tour, 6 Young Cast members will perform at each venue alongside the New Adventures company.
