ROMEO & JULIA – Love is everything: A great love story returns as a musical
On November 11, 2026, ROMEO & JULIA – Love is everything premieres at the Deutsches Theater Munich. The musical combines the timeless tragedy of Romeo and Juliet with the music of Peter Plate and Ulf Leo Sommer and takes the audience into a world that is both romantic and dramatic, filled with great love, social contrasts, and fateful passion.
Shakespeare's tragedy in the sound of a new musical world
The production tells the famous story of two young people whose love is shattered by the enmity of their families. Dramaturgically, the classical material meets a modern musical language: Emotionally intense songs, concise dialogues, and a dynamic stage action give the well-known story new energy.
The musical idea of Love is everything is at the center, giving the production its emotional core. The compositions by Peter Plate and Ulf Leo Sommer translate longing, departure, and loss into catchy melodies and create that immediacy that the musical unfolds on stage.
Between stage design, light, and great acting
The stage experience thrives on contrast: On one side stands youthful carefree and the electrifying attraction of two lovers, on the other side, familial power, violence, and the relentless logic of a hostile world. Lighting moods, costumes, and choreography condense these contrasts into a theater atmosphere full of movement.
The direction leads the ensemble through a production where acting, singing, and dancing are closely intertwined. Thus, it becomes not a museal Shakespeare quotation but an emotionally accessible musical about the power of love and the destructive consequences of exclusion.
A musical with a success story from Berlin
ROMEO & JULIA – Love is everything was developed in 2022 and premiered in 2023 at the Berliner Theater des Westens. The tour brings the production to Munich for the first time. The cast includes Laura Schatz as Juliet, Mats Visser as Romeo, Beatrice Reece as the Nurse, Cedric Schröter as Mercutio, and Giuseppe Dulcetta as the Angel of Death.
The Munich premiere marks the start of the guest performance series at the Deutsches Theater.
