Experience two short dance interpretations of one of the most well-known stories of all time, Romeo and Juliet.
Act One
Romeo and Juliet Fantasy
Choreographed by DK artistic director David Hochoy
In this version, three different couples swirl out of the ensemble to become Romeo and Juliet in different parts of the story — the romantic balcony scene, the passionate bedroom scene, and the final death scene in the tomb.
Act Two
Sweet Sorrow (World Premiere)
Choreographed by DK associate artistic director Stuart Coleman
While Sweet Sorrow remains mostly true to Shakespeare’s story, a few modern-day revisions will allow the story to resonate strongly with today’s audiences. Company dancers Justin Rainey and Marie Kuhns will dance the roles of Romeo and Juliet.
Tickets are $18 to $25 on Thursday, January 6, depending on seating zones at IRT, and $18 to $50 on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, January 7-9.
