& Julia

What if Julia didn't die for Romeo, but took her life into her own hands? That's where & Julia begins - and the adventure quickly shows that life goes on after Romeo.

The musical is written by Emmy-winning Schitt's Creek screenwriter David West Read, with music by Swedish pop genius Max Martin. The stage features hits from the 1990s and early 2000s made famous by Britney Spears, Bon Jovi, Backstreet Boys, and Katy Perry. The musical, which premiered in London and on Broadway, now comes to Helsinki City Theatre in a Finnish adaptation (translation: Paavo Leppäkoski).
