& Juliet

Presented by The Very Popular Theatre Company

What if Juliet’s greatest love story was just getting started?

The Broadway and West End smash hit explodes onto the Newcastle stage June 2026. Forget the balcony. Skip the poison. Juliet’s rewriting her story - louder, prouder, and packed with pop anthems you know by heart. 

& Juliet turns Shakespeare’s tragedy into a fearless, feel-good celebration of love, life, and second chances. With a killer soundtrack including Since U Been Gone, Roar, Baby One More Time, and Larger Than Life, this isn’t your average jukebox musical - it’s a glitter-soaked, chart-topping rebellion!

Grab your friends and get ready to dance in your seat - because when & Juliet hits the Civic Theatre Newcastle, the only tragedy... would be missing it.

Running time 2hrs 30 mins inc interval. Running times are approximate and subject to change without notice.

The Very Popular Theatre Company is a Newcastle based company with a mission to bridge the gap between community theatre and professional theatre in the Hunter region. 

Established in 2006, its aim was to produce live theatre events of a decidedly 'popular' style, including comedy, farce, vaudeville, music hall and musical theatre. The Very Popular Theatre Company now exists with an unstoppable force of dramatic energy, popular modern repitour, reimagined classics, and the occasional jazz hand!
