The Curtain wasn’t a building based on acircle like Shakespeare’s Globe. It was actually rectilinear, so we started with that, like we were on an archeological dig. We have this little bit of the wall of The Curtain that’s still left in the set.\u003Cbr>SOUTRA GILMOUR SET DESIGNER |  |\n\nUsing Soutra Gilmour’s concepts, the artist Vic Lee made these incredible maps of London, Verona, and Paris. I can zoom in as close as I want on any area, to really give a sense of where things are happening. We have an LED wall at the back, and I actually project on the front of that, on a gauze, which gives you this amazing depth. It gives the show such a unique look.  \nANDRZEJ GOULDING VIDEO AND PROJECTION DESIGNER  \nIn so many musicals, characters sing when their emotions get too big to express in mere words. But in & Juliet, big emotions also push the production into the‘pop concert’ aesthetic. The most extravagant pop moments — like “Roar” or“I Kissed a Girl” — arrive when characters experience their biggest feelings.  \nTIM HEADINGTON  \nPRODUCER  \nThe interplay between the pared down, Shakespearean storytelling and the arenastyle, pop music spectacle is absolutely fundamental to our show. While they were developing the production’s language, the entire creative team studied Shakespearean traditions, and they also attended massive pop concerts. They wanted to become experts in both, so that they could fuse those languages together.  \nTHERESA STEELE PAGE  \nPRODUCER  \nThe players are obsessed with William. They’re part of the coolest troupe in London, and for their rehearsal looks, they blend period pieces like corsets and leather doublets with sweatpants, track pants, and bike shorts. Many of them wear swag from previous productions of Shakespeare’splays. When they show up at first rehearsal, they want the other actors to know they were part of the original casts. Their tees and sweatshirts were originally sourced as vintage pieces from Shakespeare productions and festivals from all over the world.  \nPALOMA YOUNG  \nCOSTUME DESIGNER  \nWe discovered that “Larger Than Life” really describes what Shakespeare stands for in the cultural sphere. To give him ultimate status, we stage this song with him coming up through the floor in a classic pop star entrance. It has all of the bravado that comes with being our version of Shakespeare, and it launches him (and the show) into the pop aesthetic.  \nLUKE SHEPPARD  \nDIRECTOR  \nFor me, this is probably the most important line of dialogue in the entire script. It establishes a point of connection between Anne and the audience, many of whom have gone to great lengths to come to the theater (they’ve gotten a babysitter, they’ve spent money, they’ve taken a train or a plane, etc.) It acknowledges that, at this point, some audience members still don’t know if they’ve madea good choice, but they are“ready” for a good time, hoping that Shakespeare doesn’t disappoint them (and that & Juliet doesn’t either) . Before we added this line, it sometimes took a while for the audience to get on board with Anne – she is, after all, interrupting the show. But with the new dialogue, the audience started to see Anne as “one of them,” and you could feel their instant affection for her.  \nDAVID WEST READ  \nBOOK  \nIn this scene, David really paints a delightful picture of Anne as a romantic, enthusiastic bridge-and-tunnel girl. That was my inspiration in setting up her transformation from her middle class peach dress —fancy, but not t","cbCaipCI2EzXZkKH","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaipCI2EzXZkKH","pdf",21437738,121,"English","# Set and visual design\n## Curtain-inspired staging\n## Maps and projections\n# Creative approach and performance style\n## Pop concert aesthetics and big emotions\n## Merging Shakespeare traditions with pop\n# Character, costumes, and dialogue\n## Costume blending period and modern looks\n## Shakespeare as cultural icon\n## Audience connection through dialogue","[{\"question\":\"What does the annotated script include besides the dialogue?\",\"answer\":\"It includes commentary from the creative team that explains design choices and production thinking behind key moments and aesthetics.\"},{\"question\":\"Does the script exactly match the 2024/2025 touring production?\",\"answer\":\"The commentary states the script comes from the original Broadway production and may include small discrepancies compared with the 2024/2025 touring version.\"},{\"question\":\"How do the creators describe the show’s style and musical moments?\",\"answer\":\"They describe a fusion where pop-concert spectacle and the largest emotional scenes support the story, while pared-down Shakespearean storytelling and studied traditions shape the production’s language.\"}]","& Juliet Annotated Script - Featuring Commentary | PDF",1792209475,186]
