Roméo & Juliette

Roméo & Juliette has already captivated more than 11 million audience members worldwide. It has been translated into 18 languages and performed in 20 countries. Launched in 2001 at the Palais des Congrès, the production drew nearly 2.5 million attendees.

For Cécilia, returning to Roméo & Juliette is emotional. "I was chosen at 15 to play Juliette, a role that marked the beginning of my life as an artist. Reprising it twenty years later, alongside Damien, was a powerful moment, as if we had never been apart but rather enriched by what life has given us. This return has symbolic value: coming full circle, going back to where it all began, with 25 years of experience now feeding the characters. The story continues to bring people together and to convey love and emotion."

In the same vein, Damien adds: "This role has accompanied me since 2001, and rediscovering it today alongside Cécilia, with the hindsight and maturity that time has given us, gives this adventure a new depth."

With more than 9 million records sold and songs that have become part of French pop culture—such as Les Rois du monde and Aimer—Roméo & Juliette has left its mark on the history of musical theatre. For nearly 25 years, the show has been performed in multiple countries and has adapted to the changes of its time: new techniques, new staging conventions, new audience expectations.

For Gérard Presgurvic, Roméo & Juliette raises a question that remains relevant: how far are we willing to go for love? Shakespeare answers with a force that transcends the centuries. Reuniting Damien Sargue and Cécilia Cara more than twenty years after their debuts brings a new layer of depth to the production.

Roméo & Juliette returns in a reimagined version, with a new cast, new costumes and a new stage design.
