The producers of the global sensation & Juliet are delighted to announce that multi-platinum selling recording artist and award-winning West End actor, Matt Cardle, will play the role of Shakespeare in the upcoming UK tour.

He joins the previously announced Gerardine Sacdalan as Juliet, Sandra Marvin as Angélique and Lara Denning as Anne.

Created by the Emmy-winning writer from Schitt’s Creek, & Juliet flips the script on the greatest love story ever told and asks, what would happen next if Juliet didn’t end it all over Romeo?

Juliet’s new story bursts to life through a playlist of pop anthems as iconic as her name, including Britney Spears’ …Baby One More Time, Katy Perry’s Roar and chart toppers Since U Been Gone, It’s My Life, I Want It That Way, and Can’t Stop the Feeling!.

& Juliet shows at Wolverhampton Grand Theatre from Monday 7 - Saturday 12 October 2024, Birmingham Hippodrome from 21 April to 3 May 2025 and Regent Theatre, Stoke-on-Trent from Monday 12 - Saturday 17 May 2025.
