Kit Connor and Rachel Zegler’s Romeo + Juliet Broadway Show Gets First Look Music Video
Joe Locke isn’t the only Heartstopper actor leaving a mark on Broadway; Kit Connor will also be making his Broadway debut shortly alongside Rachel Zegler in a new iteration of William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet.
Following two succinct teasers posted by Kit Connor and Rachel Zegler, the two actors were announced as the leads of Broadway’s Romeo + Juliet on April 16, 2024. “Kit Connor is Romeo + Rachel Zegler is Juliet. On Broadway this fall. ❤️🗡️,” the show’s official Instagram page wrote in a post sharing a first-look picture of the duo together.
Of course, Connor and Zegler aren’t the only familiar names attached to Romeo + Juliet. According to an early poster unveiled on Instagram, the show will feature music by Jack Antonoff — you know, Taylor Swift’s go-to collaborator and Bleachers frontman.
Romeo + Juliet will be directed by Sam Gold, while Sonya Tayeh has been tapped on the movement front. The production will be a Broadway first not only for Connor, but also Zegler and Antonoff.
