& Juliet Alums Ben Jackson Walker and Corey Mach to Join Broadway Cast This Summer

The Broadway cast of & Juliet will welcome back two veterans this summer. Original Broadway cast member Ben Jackson Walker will return to the role of Romeo on August 13, while Corey Mach, who originated the role of Shakespeare in the musical’s North American tour, will join the Broadway cast on August 4.

Drew Gehling will play his final performance as Shakespeare on August 2, and Liam Pearce will play his final performance as Romeo on August 9.

Walker and Mach join a cast that includes Gianna Harris as Juliet, Alison Luff as Anne, Michael Iván Carrier as May, Chrissy Metz as Angélique, and Nathan Levy as François. Rounding out the ensemble are 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.

As previously announced, NSYNC Star Joey Fatone and Tony Award Winner Paulo Szot will share the role of Lance throughout the summer.

& 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!”
