Sometimes it seems like the whole world is arguing. Romeo and Juliet know better than anyone how annoying that is: ever since Shakespeare, things have been going wrong for those two. It had better be over! Fortunately, the famous composer Tchaikovsky took pity on the couple and wrote a beautiful new overture to the story. With such beautiful music, you automatically stop fighting, don't you think? Dancing and singing is much more fun! 

When everyone around you is increasingly oppositional, it is difficult to see how you can still live together in harmony. Music helps and heals! Romeo and Juliet shows how important love and friendship are. And not only that: because the whole audience has to work together to make the story end well, you get to know the famous love story from a completely different side. So you choose a whole new ending together with Romeo and Juliet - with beautiful music, the cutest songs, humor, and of course... love!
