Overview
- Producers announced on Thursday that Chrissy Metz will play Angelique in & Juliet for a limited run from June 18 through September 13 at the Stephen Sondheim Theatre.
- Metz will succeed Tony nominee Jeannette Bayardelle, who will give her final performance in the role on June 14.
- The production will reach its 1,500th performance on June 23, a milestone the show is marking as it continues regular cast rotations and guest appearances.
- & Juliet is a revisionist jukebox musical with a book by David West Read that uses pop songs written by Max Martin to reimagine Juliet’s story.
- The casting illustrates a broader strategy on Broadway where TV and social‑media stars join limited engagements to boost ticket sales for shows that have recouped after the pandemic.
