A new Romeo is joining the final UK tour dates of smash-hit West End and Broadway musical & Juliet.
Ben Jackson Walker, who has been starring as Romeo in the Broadway production of & Juliet, has taken over as Romeo in the current tour.
Jackson Walker replaces Jack Danson, who is no longer appearing in the show due to personal circumstances.
The final dates for the UK tour are Birmingham, Southend-on-Sea, Stoke-on-Trent, Sheffield, Newcastle, Truro, and Cardiff – See all tour dates here.
& Juliet also stars Gerardine Sacdalan (Made in Dagenham) as Juliet, with Jay McGuiness (The Wanted) as Shakespeare. It was announced in February that McGuiness would be extending his tour dates, and will now play Shakespeare in Birmingham, Stoke, Sheffield, Newcastle, Truro and Cardiff, with Matt Cardle playing Shakespeare in Southend-on-Sea.
The cast also includes Sandra Marvin (Waitress, Sister Act) as Angélique, Dr Ranj Singh and Lee Latchford-Evans sharing the role of Lance at selected dates, Lara Denning (Matilda the Musical) as Anne Hathaway, Jordan Broatch as May, and Kyle Cox as Francois.
& Juliet also features Harriet Caplan-Dean as Eleanor, Alexander Kranz as Lennox, Andilé Mabhena as Augustine (and Dance Team), Liam Morris as Richard, Psalms-Nissi Myers-Reid as Lucy (and Alternate Juliet), Michael Nelson as Henry (and 1st Cover Shakespeare & Lance), Toni Paise as Violet, Katie Ramshaw as Nell / Lady C, Rosie Singha as Judith, Aaron Shales as Gregory (and Dance Team), Nia Stephen as Imogen, Samuel Wilson-Freeman as Fletcher (and Resident Director and Dance Captain, 2nd Cover Shakespeare & Lance), and Joe Wolstenholme as Off-stage Swing.
This hilarious new musical flips the script on the greatest love story ever told and asks, what would happen next if Juliet didn’t end it all over Romeo?
& Juliet is created by David West Read, the Emmy-winning writer of Schitt’s Creek, and is filled with pop anthems written by music industry Svengali Max Martin.
Songs featured in the show include Britney Spears’ “…Baby One More Time,” Katy Perry’s “Roar” and chart toppers “Since U Been Gone,” “It’s My Life,” “I Want It That Way,” and “Can’t Stop the Feeling!”.
