Considered the greatest love story of all time and a bona fide "hit" for over 400 years. Romeo & Juliet is full of passion and oration. Shakespeare's most popular tragedy, it expresses love and death better perhaps, than any work in the English language.

Jealousy. Prejudice. Betrayal. And the chance that true love could actually conquer all. It could only be the greatest love story of all time, and, for the first time in over 36 years, it played live on Broadway in a stunningly modern production.

Zeffirelli's production of Romeo and Juliet is considered to be one of the great Shakespeare adaptations, and it was the first to cast actual teenagers in the lead roles. Young lovers have an affair which threatens to inflame the tensions between their feuding families during the Renaissance.
