‘Romeo + Juliet’ Music and Stagecraft | The BSB Podcast

When was the last time you revisited a theatrical classic? A story that is timeless and continues to live on long past its time on stage. Since we’ve begun our journey here at BSB Insider, we’ve seen quite a few revivals come across the stages of Broadway, but none so striking as the most recent take on the William Shakespeare classic, Romeo + Juliet!

In this episode of the BSB Podcast, hosts Brian Kitson and RJ Miller-Zelinko visit the fair city of Verona once again as we dissect the most recent Broadway revival of Romeo + Juliet! While we broke down the story and the characters in part one, we’re now looking at the magic that happened at the Circle in the Square Theatre! From the design of the stage to the use of the entire theater in such a unique way, what about the stagecraft really stood out in this production? Did the addition of some original music from Jack Antonoff add anything magical to the show, or did it distract from the prose of William Shakespeare? And just what is the deal with the large teddy bears that adorned both the stage and the lobby outside? Don’t worry, we’re here to help figure it out and get to the bottom of all these questions in this exciting podcast episode!
