The lead role of Juliet is played by Rachel Simone Webb, a graduate of Texas State Musical Theatre 2020. She grew up in various music scenes of Dallas and began crafting her love of live singing and performance from a young age. Rachel participated in local talent shows in her DeSoto hometown and in Dallas-proper. Much of her training came from her high school choral programs (DeSoto HS and Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing and Visual Arts). She also studied with The Black Academy of Arts and Letters, or TBAAL.

The hilarious new musical & Juliet flips the script on the greatest love story ever told, and asks: what would happen if Juliet didn’t end it all over Romeo? Get whisked away on a fabulous journey as she ditches her famous ending for a fresh beginning and a second chance at life and love—her way.

Juliet’s new story bursts to life through a playlist of pop anthems as iconic as her name. Songs 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 songs are all from Max Martin, the genius songwriter/producer behind more #1 hits than any other artist this century. Break free of the balcony scene and get into this romantic comedy that proves there’s life after Romeo. The only thing tragic would be missing it.
