And as a reminder for you literature peeps, here's the death-count since Romeo and Juliet meet: Mercutio, friend of Romeo and the Montagues by extension. Tybalt, cousin of Juliet and killed by Romeo for killing Mercutio. Lady Montague, Romeo's mother who died of heartbreak from Romeo's banishment. Count Paris, friend of Prince Escalus of Verona, who threatened any further breaches of the peace with death and lowered Romeo's sentence from execution to lifetime banishment. Paris was killed by Romeo in rage.

Just went to see it today and i absolutely LOVED IT!! I was kinda sceptical at first cause i was thinking "oh god another jukebox musical" but it was really well put together. They made the songs fit in ways i wouldnt even think of. The story and concept was reallys strong. Also for all the history and english nerds out there it has some hilarious jokes surrounding shakespeare and his writing. The feminism and the inclusivity didnt feel forced and the romance(s) was honestly one of the best ive seen in theatre. The overall aesthetic was gorgeous and not as cringey as its made out to be here. Honestly i think it was bloody brilliant and would definetly recommend

People are acting like they deliberately stole the songs XD This musical is by Max Martin, who is also the writer for all of the songs used in the musical. So technically, it's original work.

hi there, in case you haven't already heightened your expectations higher than 6 feet under I'm here to tell you it's actually awesome. The songs are all by the same guy max Martin, the plot is more plausible than mamma Mia (Shakespeare's wife taking the quill and the two of them bickering over which way the story goes) and it's media that gives all its romances an equal weighting, which is something rare.

'What if Juliet lived?' You'd be rewriting one of the greatest tragedies of all time. Which can work, if there was a reason to. As far as I know, people weren't begging for this to happen.

The two examples you used are direct adaptations of two of the greatest plays in history, which I am sure people wanted to see. This is a fanfiction. A bastardisation.
