It's been some 50 years since Leonard Bernstein and Stephen Sondheim's musical update of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet first appeared on the capital's stage. The 1961 film version collected ten Oscars, and Jerome Robbins' choreography, as performed by incredible dancers such as Russ Tamblyn, has become legendary. So it's a joy to welcome Joey McKneely's acclaimed production of this tale of love against all odds to London. Expect colour ("I Feel Pretty"), passion ("America"), tears ("Somewhere") and laughter ("Gee, Officer Krupke!") in the vibrant Sadler's Wells interpretation.
