Anthony Gargiula will make his Broadway debut in the long-running production of & Juliet at the Stephen Sondheim Theatre.

Beginning September 15, Gargiula will take over the role of François, the moody young musician who hastily proposes to Juliet rather than confront his true romantic feelings.

Nathan Levy, who is currently in the role, will play his final performance with the company on Sunday, September 6. Chrissy Metz (“This Is Us”) will play her final performances as Angélique on September 13.

Gargiula is a social media sensation best known for his Kitchen Singing series.

& Juliet imagines what would happen next if Juliet hadn’t ended it all over Romeo through a playlist of pop anthems by Max Martin, with a book by Emmy-winning writer David West Read. The production is directed by Luke Sheppard and choreographed by Jennifer Weber.

TheaterMania’s critic declared, “If pop music be the food of love, play on!”

The show currently stars Gianna Harris as ‘Juliet,’ Tony Award winner Paulo Szot and NSYNC Superstar Joey Fatone as ‘Lance,’ Alison Luff as ‘Anne,’ Corey Mach as ‘Shakespeare,’ Michael Iván Carrier as ‘May,’ Chrissy Metz as ‘Angélique,’ Liam Pearce as ‘Romeo,’ and Nathan Levy as ‘François,’ with Gabe Amato, Daniel Assetta, Reese Britts, Nicholas Cooper, Halima Dodo, Jhailyn Paige Farcon, Makai Hernandez, Joomin Hwang, Elsa Keefe, Alaina Ví Maderal, Daniel J. Maldonado, Mackenzie Meadows, Esosa Oviasu, Cassie Silva, TJ Tapp, Zalah Vallien, Darien Van Rensalier, and Romy Vuksan.
