The show, featuring the music of Max Martin and remixing the story of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, will continue its run at the Shaftesbury Theatre after opening at the venue in November 2019. It currently stars Miriam-Teak Lee in the titular role, alongside Oliver Tompsett, David Bedella, Cassidy Janson, Arun Blair-Mangat, Melanie La Barrie, Jordan Luke Gage and Tim Mahendran.
