Center Theatre Group’s presentation of “& Juliet” runs through Sept. 7 at the Ahmanson Theatre.

Featuring songs by the legendary Grammy-winning songwriter and producer Max Martin, a book by David West Read, the Emmy-winning writer from “Schitt’s Creek,” direction by Luke Sheppard and choreography by Emmy-Award winner Jennifer Weber, “& Juliet” opened on Broadway in November 2022, where it continues playing to sold-out crowds and breaking box office records.

The hilarious new musical flips the script on the greatest love story ever told and asks what would happen if Juliet didn’t end it all over Romeo? Get whisked away on a 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 Max Martin, the songwriter and producer behind more No. 1 hits than any other artist this century.

The tour stars original Broadway cast member Rachel Webb as Juliet, alongside Paul-Jordan Jansen as Lance, Teal Wicks as Anne Hathaway, Corey Mach as Shakespeare, Nick Drake as May, Kathryn Allison as Angélique, Benjamin Jackson Walker as Romeo and Mateus Leite Cardoso as François.

The ensemble includes Naima Alakham, Camille Brooks, Lois Ellise, Josh Ferman, Virgil Gadson, Ishmael Gonzalez, Kenneth Onesimus Goubran, Shelby Griswold, Christopher Robert Hanford, Jourdan Ibe, Josh Jordan, Nicole Lamb, Kate Mina Lin, Yoshi Maysonet, Usman Ali Mughal, Jaydon Nget, Kyra Smith and Francisco Thurston.
