I saw Romeo and Juliet yesterday after a friend very generously gave up his ticket for free, and I honestly had a great time with it.

I liked a lot of what Robert Icke brought to the production without spoiling too much.The sliding doors were a clever touch, though I’ll admit the blinding lights were a little overwhelming at points.

Sadie Sink and Noah Jupe were both excellent and completely believable as Romeo and Juliet. They really captured the emotion and intensity of these young characters. And for anyone mainly seeing this because of Sadie Sink(as were alot of attendees), you’re in for a treat because she absolutely delivers, totally blew me and my friends away.

Clare Perkins was fantastic as the Nurse, while Kasper Hilton-Hille and Dylan Corbett-Bader brought so much energy to Mercutio and Benvolio.

Overall, I think this is one of the stronger West End productions I’ve seen recently and far more thoughtfully put together than a lot of what’s been on lately.

Also, thanks to everyone who recommended this show.

Hello! I know this question has probably been asked a thousand times already, but I’m thinking about booking tickets and they’re quite expensive, so I’d really appreciate it if anyone could share any recent reviews or thoughts about the play/cast. Thank you so much! + How were the leads in this not familiar at all with both + the only thing i heard about the show is that Clare Perkins(only member of the cast i'm familiar with is great) and that Sadie Sink is a must see on stage. So all opinions are welcome
