Juliet and Romeo – a New Musical

In this delightful and hilarious re-imagining, Bloom is a community theatre director and failed novelist currently directing a mediocre production of Romeo and Juliet. But when the ghost of Shakespeare turns up, Bloom insults him by criticizing the ending to his greatest tragedy. Bloom tells The Bard he could write it better, resulting in an unexpected twist from Shakespeare, who sends Bloom INTO the play. Once inside, as Bloom tries to “improve” the ending from within, he must navigate the twists and turns of the plot all while trying to fit in with the renowned fictional characters we all know and love. But once Bloom meets Juliet, his plans unravel as he falls for her and risks changing the story, past and present, in ways no one expected.
