Read the Limelight review.

In this pop-driven, girl-power romp, Juliet is given a second chance at life when Shakespeare’s wife, Anne Hathaway, persuades him to change the ending of Romeo and Juliet. The show features songs by Swedish hitmaker Max Martin, made famous by the likes of Britney Spears, Ariana Grande and Katy Perry, and a book by David West Read (Schitt’s Creek). A hit in the West End and on Broadway, the musical delighted audiences when the Australian production opened in Melbourne in March 2023. Now it’s arrived in Perth, with Sydney as the next stop. Lorinda May Merrypor plays Juliet, with Rob Mills as the Bard, Amy Lehpamer as Anne and Blake Appelqvist as Romeo. Hit me, baby, one more time!
