The Concept: The musical flips the script on Romeo & Juliet. The premise is "What if Juliet didn't kill herself over Romeo?" It is meta-theatrical, featuring a hilarious Anne Hathaway (Shakespeare’s wife) as a co-writer who demands a better ending for the female characters.

The Music (The Strongest Point): Since it is a Max Martin jukebox, the music is undeniable. You know every word, even if you haven't seen the show.
