sabella Boylston and James Whiteside in Romeo and Juliet, by Gene Schiavone
Forbidden love. Intrigue. Spandex. No, this isn’t the latest installment of Real Housewives. Perhaps one of the most heartbreaking and revered love stories of all time, Shakespeare’s Romeo & Juliet finds new life with American Ballet Theatre’s production of our favorite star-crossed lovers. Described as a “sensual interpretation,” Kenneth MacMillian’s Romeo & Juliet pairs his retelling with Sergei Prokofiev’s iconic score. The result? An emotionally rich visual feast laced with tragedy. Stock your pockets with tissue.
