R+J Forever

a Mash-Up Musical

The picturesque town of Verona has been taken over by ultra-rich Hollywood types and wannabe celebrities who have suddenly decided that it's fashionable to own a mansion on Capulet Hill. The local kids who live around Montague market don't get on very well with the spoilt Capulet brats and fights are not uncommon.

However there are always exceptions, and in this backdrop of social tension and unease, a love would bloom that would transcend cultural boundaries and time itself. When Romeo, a mischievous Montague boy, first lays eyes on Juliet, a fledgeling pop star with a dominating mother, events would be set in motion that would redefine the very concept of love forever.

Aimed for a teenage audience, this exhilarating show retells the classic love story of Romeo and Juliet in a relatable modern-day pop culture setting that makes the tragedy hit home with no filters. This show is also ideal for young actors and creatives to showcase their skills.
