Jamie Lloyd’s Romeo & Juliet To Be Transfered To Broadway After Tickets Get Sold Out Within Few Hours
Tom Holland starrer Romeo & Juliet will be headed towards Broadway after its London show. The sources confirmed the news to a portal after the tickets were sold within hours.
Tom Holland will return to the theatre with his new play, Romeo & Juliet. The cast of the drama was announced last week, and the makers confirmed that Francesca Amewuda Rivers would portray the role of Juliet. The play will open at the Duke of York Theatre on May 23. However, the reports suggest that the drama will also be performed on Broadway after concluding with the London shows. The decision was allegedly taken by the Jamie Lloyd Company after the tickets for the London show were sold out in just a couple of hours. The tickets for the West End show cost 200 pounds.
What Did The Reports Say About Performing The Play At Broadway?
While there has been no official confirmation from the makers over performing Romeo & Juliet on Broadway. The Mirror reported, “Romeo & Juliet will head to Broadway after its London run, with details to be announced in due course. While director Jamie Lloyd has made a name for his minimalist adaptations of classic texts, the headline grabber for what is essentially yet another production of Romeo & Juliet is undoubtedly its leading man.”
The source further added, “Fans can’t wait to watch the Marvel hero test out his acting chops up close and personal, and with tickets costing around £200, it’s an incredibly lucrative earner.”
