Over the decades, I’ve seen many productions of “Romeo and Juliet,” the classic William Shakespeare tragedy of the love between two teenager.
Kit Connor and Rachel Zegler in “Romeo + Juliet” at Circle in the Square Theater. ‘ Publisher and my father, Wilbert “Bill” Tatum, before me. We’ve been reporting the news of the day from a Black perspective since 1909 –, the first time in the 125 years of this award it has been given to a Black woman publisher – We are proud to provide no paywall journalism for the Black community we serve, the largest Black and Brown community in the country.
Throughout this production, the cast had a great time, with a lot of playfulness onstage even before the production officially started. It is quite enjoyable to sit in the theater and watch the actors come on stage, dance to music provided by a DJ and play around, throwing stuffed animals and treats to each other. By the time the story began, you already felt the vibe of getting ready to see something special and something new.
A narrator introduced herself and the characters she would be playing and then proceeded to introduce all the other actors and the characters. Every actor on that stage was absolutely invested in bringing this story together in a very different and incredibly entertaining way. Kit Connor is phenomenal as Romeo. He is funny, sexy, and keeps you mesmerized. He brings all of Romeo’s emotions to the surface and you feel everything — his passion, love, anguish, and despair.
Go and experience it for yourself and take someone young with you, so that they can hear Shakespeare’s words and see the beautiful delivery that these thespians bring to the table. They bring humor to lines that were previously not funny, and it just works. This production has amazing music by Jack Antonoff, exhilarating movement and choreography by Sonya Tayeh, and delightful direction by Sam Gold. The scenic design by dots is very minimal, but it is also very creative.
This “Romeo + Juliet” has enormous Teddy Bears as part of the set. They are in the lobby and in the theater, Romeo even sleeps on one, but there is definitely nothing soft and cuddly about this production — it is on fire, it is fierce, it is love, passion, desire and tragedy!
