'Romeo + Juliet' Broadway | Teaser
Two hours, with one intermission. At the Circle in the Square Theatre, 235 West 50th Street. Through February 16.And on Thursday night, seven blocks away at Circle in the Square Theatre opened its companion piece — “Romeo &.”
Any staging of this play worth its salt forces the audience, for a time anyway, to buy into the star-crossed lovers’ ill-fated romance. During one scene, Connor politely — frantically — begs an audience member to borrow their chair. The move would be a capital-G gimmick were he not so endearing and spontaneous while he does it.Shakespeare’s words, however, do not come as naturally to Zegler as songs do, and sparks do not fly with Connor’s Romeo. .” Jules is direct and angsty. And, going with what she knows, Zegler croons a tune of two by Jack Antonoff. But it all rings false.
During the dark final moments in the crypt, or wherever the heck they are, the play peters out. The best bits are specks in the rearview; the sadness, less powerful than the booming tunes from two hours earlier.
