Kit Connor and Rachel Zegler join TODAY to talk about making their Broadway debut in “Romeo + Juliet” which puts a modern spin on the classic tale — and how they both signed up for the project before even meeting! Connor also talks about starring in Season 3 of “Heartstopper” and Zegler opens up about getting a letter of support from R&B superstar...
On the night before an early morning at TODAY, Rachel Zegler and Kit Connor died. The actors lay prone onstage at the Circle in the Square Theatre in New York, bleeding out in front of a captive, 360-degree audience who took in the Oct. 8 performance of their new Broadway production, “Romeo + Juliet.” 'I always end up with half of my face covered, so I'm trying to — I can't breathe,' Connor tells TODAY.com about acting out the climactic, 400-year-old finale.
At the start, the stage is littered with modern objects — an inflatable reclined chair, a shopping cart full of teddy bears and a borg, or a 'blackout rage gallon,' a dangerous mixed drink and trend associated with college campus culture. Throughout the play, the borg is carried by Sola Fadiran's character, Capulet, as part of the overarching depiction of him as an 'abusive father' to Juliet, Zegler says.
