The musical, considered sensational by critics and having its first showing less than a decade ago, stands as a testament to the potential that modern staged plays can achieve. The play's narrative, which focuses on Juliet breaking free from a "man's world" and how a woman should act is a stark difference from the story we know in Romeo and Juliet; in the course of her story unfolding, Juliet and the women in the story takes on a conscious choice to live, and fully at that.
William Shakespeare's original play expectedly revolves around love as the story's dominant trope, showing both the positive and negative aspects of true love. The reinvention of Juliet’s life in the jukebox musical on the other hand is a tale of empowerment and unshackling yourself from what society wants, while putting importance in the choices which women make. The two contrasting tropes that come from scripts which were created in two absolutely unalike decades show how much the dramatic arts and the stage's narratives have evolved in the past times.
The musical is able to introduce to us the aforementioned developments in the form of William Shakespeare and his wife Anne Hathaway, who at various moments during the two acts of the musical rewrite the play based on their opinions and what they think should ensue for the female cast of characters. The arguments interjected with the actual sequences of Juliet's coming-of-age story prove to be not just entertaining, but also very instructive as it bridges the differences in messaging which is evident in both the previous Romeo & Juliet and the current musical.

The stunning show is a masterclass on how to put an inventive angle to make a classic play and its cast of characters much more relatable for viewers of any age.
