& Juliet at Paramount Theatre Seattle

Appearing in Washington on Sunday 3rd August 2025, Seattle is having a production of the better half of Romeo showcased in post-modern playwriting, the show from West End, & Juliet, in the district’s favorite theater venue for the arts, Paramount Theatre. Boasting the best possible equipment and amazing technical capacity, Paramount Theatre is as up-to-date as the show that will be presented within its walls.

The reimagined play, filled with pop songs from the current generation and having its first showing less than a decade ago, stands as a testament to the new ways that post-modern dramatic arts has to offer. The play's narrative, which focuses on women breaking free from the dictated societal norm of how a girl is required to live her life is a great change from the story we have ingrained from Shakespeare's original classic; in the course of her story unfolding, Juliet and her friends takes on a free way to live their own lives, and fully at that.

William Shakespeare's late play ultimately highlights love as the play's central trope, specifically both the benefits and consequences of intense romance. The continuation of Juliet’s history in the new musical though is a showcase of a woman's strength and taking control of your own fate, all the while putting importance in the choices that you make. The two varying themes which stem from plays that were written in two absolutely unalike decades manifest at what level the dramatic arts and its narratives have improved from the past decades.

The musical is easily able to present to the viewers these two varying perspectives in the form of William Shakespeare and his wife Anne Hathaway, who at various times throughout the two acts of ‘& Juliet’ rewrite the play based on their opinions and what they feel should ensue for the female cast of characters. The disagreements interjected with the actual scenes of Juliet and her friends in Paris prove to be not just riveting, but also quite educational as the musical connects the contrasting themes that is evident in both the previous Romeo & Juliet and the current ’& Juliet’.

Whether a fan of the classic play by Shakespeare or a brand new theater buff, this acclaimed musical should be on top of the list for any audience member. The magnificent play is a masterclass on how to apply a unique spin to make an old story and its individuals very much pleasing for theatergoers of any background.
