‘Romeo + Juliet’ Broadway Review: Kit Connor And Rachel Zegler Take The Bard To A Proper Rave-Up
Deadline's Broadway review of 'Romeo + Juliet'
Pumped up by Jack Antonoff’s thumping music (the several songs he wrote includes the new “Man of the House,” performed by Zegler), the play, occasionally set in something akin to an Elizabethan dance club complete with DJ and some 21st Century moves, is perhaps the best use in ages of Circle in the Square’s often troublesome in-the-round staging. Dressed in the Enver Chakartash-designed costumes that meld hints of the vaguely contemporary (Romeo, at one point, dons a pony-patterned ’50s rocker sport coat) with garb that barely needs squinting to jibe with more a traditional staging, the Montagues and Capulets of R+J feel natural in their habitat. Title: Romeo + Juliet Venue: Broadway’s Circle In The Square Written By: William Shakespeare Directed By: Sam Gold Music By: Jack Antonoff Movement direction/Choreography By: Sonya Tayeh Cast: Kit Connor, Rachel Zegler, Gabby Beans, Daniel Bravo Hernández, Jasai Chase-Owens, Tommy Dorfman, Nihar Duvvuri, Sola Fadiran, Taheen Modak, Gían Pérez.
