According to early press reports they will be casting it with North American talent. London audiences are going mad for this show....it’s like a lovable, exhilarating mash-up of Moulin Rouge, Head Over Heels and Romeo & Juliet...with banging pop tunes. Do we think it would fare well on Broadway?

That sounds amazing, and since I've heard nothing but great things about this show, I am really hopeful that it come to Broadway in the next few years.

Between Moulin Rouge and the upcoming Once Upon a One More Time, the broadway market might be too oversaturated with this kind of show. Who knows, though.

Girl, get on StubHub! I saw MR for less than a $100.
Also "& Juliet," and Jordan can correct me if I'm wrong, is a big show. It would need a big theater. I don't see it trying to compete with the Britney musical.

Size-wise, & Juliet is cast of 19 (plus swings) and band of 8. The set includes a certain number of flying pieces, a double revolve, centre stage lift and front stage trap door...it’s fairly elaborate (it looks and sounds pretty stunning) but not absolutely huge. I could see it working somewhere like the Nederlander (it’s actually playing here in London at the Shaftesbury, which was where the original West End RENT was presented). It’s not as massive a production as Moulin Rouge, although it’s (IMHO) cleverer and, arguably, more fun.

I missed this when I was last in London. Would love to see it in NYC!
