Sam Gold's new Broadway production of Romeo and Juliet, starring Rachel Zegler and Kit Connor, promised a Gen Z update, complete with a trendy aesthetic, Jack Antonoff's music, and heavy social media marketing. But did this modern makeover capture the essence of Shakespeare's timeless tragedy, or did it fall flat? This review delves into the production's strengths and weaknesses, examining the director's choices regarding staging, costuming, and the actors' performances.

Ultimately, the review questions whether this production successfully modernized Shakespeare for a younger generation or if it missed the mark.
