Two different kinds of Script, based on Shakespeare’s play and the same rich variety of Songs and Dances, are available: the Original Script or the Shorter Rhyming Script, useful especially as an introduction for young performers and students learning English as a foreign language. Assisted by Juliet’s good-natured nurse and Friar Lawrence, they marry in secret but then everything goes terribly wrong and ultimately everyone pays a heavy price for continuing this destructive vendetta. Romeo and Juliet meet and fall in love despite an ancient grudge between their families, the Montagues and Capulets. Two onstage choirs represent the opposing Montague and Capulet families. There is plenty of scope for solo, group, and chorus parts. The music is dramatic and varied, with fighting songs, dances and romantic solos, in both traditional and modern styles. This musical by Debbie Campbell is based on Romeo and Juliet and is a wonderful way of introducing young people to the works of Shakespeare.
