Romeo and Juliet

William Shakespeare

1595

“My bounty is as boundless as the sea, my love as deep; the more I give to thee, the more I have, for both are infinite.”

Orlando Bloom and two-time Tony Award nominee Condola Rashad are the star-crossed lovers in this contemporary retelling of Shakespeare's most tragic love story.

Captured live at the Richard Rodgers Theatre, New York, in 2013, David Leveaux’s modern-dress production stirs up racial tensions between the Montagues and Capulets in this first Broadway staging of Romeo and Juliet in 36 years.

Reviews

The New York Times

"For once, we have a Romeo who evolves substantively, from a posturing youth in love with love to a man who discovers the startling revelation of real love".
The New York Times

"Mr. Bloom, in a first-rate Broadway debut, and the gifted Ms. Rashad exude a too-fine-for-this-world purity that makes their characters’ love feel sacred".
