The greatest love story of all time – retold! By Peter Plate and Ulf Leo Sommer | With music by Rosenstolz. Never has Juliet been so wild, never has Romeo been so sexy, never has Mercutio been so in love. After a successful run in Berlin with over 400,000 viewers, the acclaimed musical by Peter Plate and Ulf Leo Sommer "Romeo & Julia – Love is Everything" is going on a grand tour through Germany, Austria, and Switzerland! Forbidden passion, breathtaking music, and a love that is stronger than hate, origin, and convention. Based on Shakespeare's world-famous tragedy, the musical presents the story in a powerful, modern version – featuring numerous songs from the works of Rosenstolz, including the emotional title song "Love is Everything." Touching, surprising, liberating – one of the most successful German-language musicals of our time. The award-winning production – among others, honored with the German Musical Theater Award 2023 for "Best Choreography" and "Best Sound" – impresses with an energetic stage show. Peter Plate, Ulf Leo Sommer, and Joshua Lange deliver the moving soundtrack – a musical interplay of captivating pop anthems and gentle ballads that deeply touch the heart. Set against an elaborate stage, costume, and lighting design, it creates a visual and emotional total experience. Additionally, the character of the Nurse – with fine humor and much charm – brings surprising lightness to the tragic love story. "Romeo & Julia – Love is Everything" is a musical full of contrasts: between drama, wit, and goosebumps.
