The catalog Max Martin built over three decades of writing and producing pop hits is something genuinely difficult to comprehend — “Baby One More Time,” “Since U Been Gone,” “Roar,” “Can’t Stop the Feeling!” — songs that defined the soundtrack of multiple generations of pop radio. What the musical & Juliet does is take that catalog and plant it inside a story older than pop music itself, asking a question Shakespeare never had the nerve to ask: what if Juliet walked away? The show arrives at the Majestic Theatre San Antonio on Tuesday, July 7, for a six-night run through July 12.
About & Juliet
& Juliet reimagines Shakespeare’s most famous love story — not as tragedy, but as a second act. Juliet, newly freed from her destined ending, strikes out on her own terms: new friends, new choices, a story that belongs to her this time. The book is by David West Read, the Emmy Award-winning writer of Schitt’s Creek, whose ear for warmth and wit gives the familiar premise an unexpectedly modern voice. The music is by Max Martin and collaborators — songs recorded by Britney Spears, Kelly Clarkson, Katy Perry, Ariana Grande, the Backstreet Boys, Justin Timberlake, and Ellie Goulding, among others — choreography by Jennifer Weber, directed by Luke Sheppard. The production earned nine Tony Award nominations, including Best Musical.
The premise is simple enough that it’s surprising nobody got there sooner: build a jukebox musical around songs already written about survival, reinvention, and self-possession, then hand the mic to the woman Shakespeare killed off in Act V. Critics called it “the most fun you’ll have at the theater” and drew comparisons to Mamma Mia! — praise that’s accurate without quite capturing how sharp the book is. Read’s dialogue earns the silliness. The songs earn the emotion.
Songs from the show include “Since U Been Gone,” “Roar,” “Baby One More Time,” “Larger Than Life,” “That’s The Way It Is,” and “Can’t Stop the Feeling!” The San Antonio touring cast includes Fabiola Caraballo Quijada as Juliet, Joseph Torres as Romeo, CJ Eldred as Shakespeare, and Crystal Kellogg as Anne Hathaway. (Full cast to be confirmed via the official playbill.)
Runtime is approximately two hours and thirty minutes with one intermission. Recommended for ages eight and up; the show contains adult language, flashing and strobe lighting, loud noises, confetti cannons, and pyrotechnics.
About the Majestic Theatre
The Majestic Theatre San Antonio opened in 1929, designed by John Eberson in the Spanish Mediterranean atmospheric style — the kind of building that asks you to look up, and rewards you when you do. A National Historic Landmark holding 2,264 seats, the Majestic sits at 224 E. Houston Street in downtown San Antonio, within reach of the River Walk and the Alamo, and operates under ATG Entertainment on behalf of the City of San Antonio and the Las Casas Foundation. It is the room where prestige touring productions come when they come to San Antonio.
& Juliet plays six nights — July 7 through July 12, 2026 — as the 17th stop on its 21-city North American tour. Austin follows the week after (July 14–19).
