Jack Antonoff is making his Broadway debut.
The Grammy winning pop producer of Taylor Swift, Lana del Rey, and many others will supply music for a new Broadway production of “Romeo and Juliet” this fall.
The stars are Rachel Zegler and Kit Carson. Sam Gold is the director. Zegler starred in the Spielberg movie of “West Side Story” as Maria, the star crossed lover based on Juliet, so she’s essentially playing the same part again.
What’s more interesting about this “Romeo and Juliet” is the poster. Emblazoned across the ad are the words “The Youth are F**ked.” But spelled out, no asterisks.
Is this low class? Or this the future? Is Shakespeare rolling in his grave? Are we f**cked? Producers so far are Seaview, and 101 Productions, Ltd.
