"Musical adaptation of 'Romeo and Juliet' embarks on a tour in the year 2026"
The creators of the musical "Romeo & Juliet - Love is Everything" have announced an exciting tour of several German cities starting in August 2026. The tour was revealed by Peter Plate, one half of the musical duo Rosenstolz, and composer Ulf Leo Sommer at an event in Cologne.
The musical, based on William Shakespeare's tragedy and August Schlegel's German translation, has already captivated over 400,000 spectators since its premiere in Berlin in March 2023. This new version of the classic love story promises to tell the perhaps most famous love story in the world in a way that has "never been told before."
The musical creators, Plate and Sommer, have a history of bringing musicals to the stage together, including an adaptation of the TV series "Ku'damm 56." The work of the pop duo Rosenstolz, to which Plate once belonged, plays a significant role in the production.
In this new production, Mercutio, a friend of Romeo, is in love with him, adding a fresh twist to the traditional narrative. Julia, Juliet's counterpart, is portrayed as wilder, further enhancing the dramatic tension.
The musical includes the well-known Rosenstolz hits "Liebe ist alles" (Love is Everything) and "Wie weit ist vorbei," which are sure to resonate with the audience. Peter Plate expressed that it would be beautiful if the audience, who enjoyed Rosenstolz, thought of Anna R. when these songs are played during the upcoming tour, as a memorial to the late musician who unexpectedly passed away in her apartment in March.
The creators blend pop songs and arias in the production, creating a unique and captivating sound. The tour will include performances in Cologne, Düsseldorf, Munich, Duisburg, Baden-Baden, Bremen, and Frankfurt.
In Austria (Vienna) and Switzerland (Zürich), audiences will also have the opportunity to experience this innovative take on Shakespeare's timeless tale. The musical will continue to run in Berlin until the end of February 2026, providing fans with a chance to see the production before it embarks on its tour.
Ulf Leo Sommer stated that "Romeo & Juliet" is about the themes of love, sex, and death, making it a thought-provoking and emotional experience for all who attend. This tour promises to be a touching tribute to the enduring power of love and the legacy of Anna R.
Fans gathered at a performance of "Romeo & Juliet - Love is Everything" to remember Anna R., and a memorial was created at the Theater des Westens. The tour serves as a celebration of her life and the impact she had on the world of music and theatre.
Get ready for an unforgettable experience as "Romeo & Juliet - Love is Everything" brings the passion and heartbreak of one of the world's most beloved stories to life on stages across Germany.
