K-POP Romeo & Juliet
Book, Music & Lyrics: Joe Partridge
A contemporary reimagining of the Shakespeare tragedy through a K-POP enthused score for KS2 & 3.
Two households, both alike in dignity—but not as you know it! The Montagues and Capulets are VÉRONA City’s top idol rivals, competing in the world’s biggest K-pop championship. Only one team can win the crown, and tensions are high.
Romeo is a natural performer, but lately he’s become distracted by the fickle flame of fame, while Juliet is the Capulets’ secret weapon—precise, talented, and full of heart. When they meet on the dance floor, their chemistry sparks a secret partnership, blending Romeo’s wild style with Juliet’s flawless choreography.
As the semi-finals heat up, rivalries, rules, and backroom deals threaten to tear them apart. With Mercutio and Tybalt are injured, the judges intervene, and the feud between Montegues and Capulets threatens to destroy everything. But Romeo and Juliet refuse to play by the rules—they take a stand, performing together against the odds.
In a finale of daring moves and heart, the champions are crowned, the city erupts, and the rivalry is left unresolved… because for never was there a story of more woe than that of Juliet and her Romeo.
