The licensing rights to 2023 Best Musical Tony Award nominee “& Juliet” have been acquired by Music Theatre International (MTI).

Featuring a Tony-nominated book by David West Read set to a slew of Max Martin pop tunes, “& Juliet” offers an alternate ending to Shakespeare’s “Romeo and Juliet” in which the titular heroine survives and embarks on a journey of female empowerment.
