Roméo & Juliette

On March 4, 2028 at 2:00 p.m. at Galaxie Amnéville, Romeo & Juliet will be performed. The show has already brought together more than 11 million spectators worldwide. Translated into 18 languages and staged in 20 countries, it has become part of the history of the French musical. Launched in 2001 at the Palais des Congrès, where it attracted nearly 2.5 million spectators, the production marked a generation.

A Proustian madeleine for a generation, embodied from the start by the duo Damien Sargue and Cécilia Cara. The production allows audiences to see its original duo back on stage. For Cécilia, returning to Paris with Romeo & Juliet is moving: “I was chosen at 15 to play Juliet, a defining role that marked the beginning of my life as an artist. Reconnecting with it twenty years later, alongside Damien, was a powerful moment, as if we had never parted, but had been enriched by everything life has given us. This return has symbolic value: coming full circle, returning to where it all began, with 25 years of experience that now nourish the characters in a different way. The story continues to bring people together, to convey love and emotion. It is a joy and a great deal of gratitude to rediscover Juliet and the French audience.”

Continuing in the same vein, Damien adds: “Coming back to Paris after taking Romeo & Juliet around the world, notably in Asia, has a particular resonance. This role has accompanied me since 2001, and finding it again today alongside Cécilia, with the perspective and maturity that time has given us, gives this adventure a new depth.”

With more than 9 million records sold and songs tied to French pop culture, including Les Rois du monde and Aimer, Romeo & Juliet has left its mark on the history of musical theatre. For nearly 25 years, the show has traveled across cultures and adapted to the changes of its time: new techniques, new stage conventions, new audience expectations. True to its DNA while renewing itself, it keeps what defines its identity: memorable songs, a large-scale aesthetic and a firm commitment to grand spectacle.

For Gérard Presgurvic, Romeo & Juliet remains a great love story. Universal, it raises a question that remains timely: how far are we willing to go for love? Shakespeare answers it with a force that crosses the centuries, and it is this emotion that the team continues to share with the public. For him as for the company, Romeo & Juliet is a long-running adventure.

The production returns in a reimagined version, incorporating new generational codes while preserving its essence: a story, emotions and a recognizable musical signature. This comeback is accompanied by a new cast, new costumes and a new scenography, redesigned for today. Information will be revealed gradually.
