& Juliet at Orpheum Theatre

Coming to Nebraska on Tuesday 3rd March 2026, Omaha is having a production of the theater world’s crown jewel in creative scriptwriting, '& Juliet', in its unrivaled entertainment venue for the arts, Orpheum Theatre. Equipped with advanced technology and amazing interior architecture, Orpheum Theatre is surely as modern as the play that is soon to be presented inside its halls.

The musical, filled with pop songs from the current generation and premiering not more than 10 years ago, is a pioneer of the new ways that modern theater could accomplish. The musical's story, which focuses on our main female lead overcoming the expectations set by others of how a lady is required to live her life is a stark change from the plot we have knowledge of in Romeo and Juliet; in the course of her story unfolding, Juliet and her friends decides on a deliberate choice to live their own lives, and on their own at that.

William Shakespeare's classic script expectedly revolves around love as the play's main theme, showing both the highs and lows of true romance. The reimagining of Juliet’s life in ‘& Juliet’ though is all about empowerment and taking control of your own fate, all the while placing importance in the decisions which women make. The two varying concepts that arise from scripts that were produced in two absolutely unalike generations show the extent which the dramatic arts and the stage's narratives have adjusted over the past years.

The musical is easily able to show the viewers the changes between the two plays through Shakespeare and his wife, who at key times all throughout the course of the jukebox musical rewrite the play based on their opinions and what they think should happen to the female cast of characters. These arguments mixed with the actual sequences of Juliet's escape to Paris demonstrate how the play is not just entertaining, but also very educational as the musical connects the differences in messaging which is apparent in both the classic Shakespearean play and the present-day ’& Juliet’.

Whether an admirer of the old Romeo & Juliet or a brand new lover of theater, this acclaimed musical is something you can't miss for any theatergoer. The awesome musical is a masterclass on how to use an innovative twist to make a forgotten play and its cast of characters much more delightful for audiences of any background.
