What if Juliet's story was just getting started? The Broadway and West End smash hit & Juliet lands on the GPAC stage in August 2026, bursting with pop anthems and joyful defiance.
Created by Emmy-winning Schitt's Creek writer David West Read with music by Swedish pop legend Max Martin, & Juliet flips Shakespeare's most famous tragedy on its head. The Tony Award-winning musical asks one irresistible question: what would happen if Juliet skipped the poison and chose herself instead? Latrobe Theatre Company Inc brings this celebrated production to life for audiences across Latrobe Valley, Greater Gippsland and beyond.
Audiences will hear a playlist of era-defining hits including "Since U Been Gone," "Baby One More Time," "Roar," "Larger Than Life," and "Can't Stop the Feeling," woven into a hilarious and heartfelt coming-of-age story. Juliet's journey is bold, funny, and full of life as she trades the balcony for a fresh beginning entirely on her own terms. It is a night at the theatre that feels like a concert, a comedy, and a celebration rolled into one.
Productions like this demonstrate the depth of creative talent within Latrobe City and the capacity of local companies to stage world-class work for regional audiences. Latrobe Theatre Company's commitment to ambitious, high-quality musical theatre enriches the cultural life of the community and gives local artists a stage worthy of their ambition.
