Calling all pop music and rom-com lovers: This is a must-see show for you and your kids, too! It’s called “& Juliet,” and it will take over the Walton Arts Center stage on Tuesday, May 26, 2026, at 7pm. It’s a creative spin on the classic story of Romeo & Juliet, and it features pop music you already know and love. This week we’re giving away 4 tickets to one lucky Northwest Arkansas mom who puts her name in our online drawing.
ABOUT THE SHOW:
Created by the Emmy®-winning writer from “Schitt’s Creek,” this hilarious new musical flips the script on the greatest love story ever told. & Juliet asks: what would happen next if Juliet didn’t end it all over Romeo? Get whisked away on a fabulous journey as she ditches her famous ending for a fresh beginning and a second chance at life and love – her way.
Juliet’s new story bursts to life through a playlist of pop anthems as iconic as her name, including “Since U Been Gone‚” “Roar,” “Baby One More Time,” “Larger Than Life‚” “That’s The Way It Is“ and “Can’t Stop the Feeling!” – all from the genius songwriter and producer behind more No. 1 hits than any other artist this century. Break free of the balcony scene and get into this romantic comedy that proves there’s life after Romeo. The only thing tragic would be missing it.
Recommended for ages 8 and up.
