Roméo & Juliette

Roméo & Juliette will be presented on 18 February 2028 at 7:30 PM at the Reims Arena. A popular production, it has already attracted more than 11 million spectators worldwide. Translated into 18 languages and staged in 20 countries, it has established itself as a classic of French musical theatre. Launched in 2001 at the Palais des Congrès, the production has drawn nearly 2.5 million spectators and remains a touchstone for a generation.

The original duo, Damien Sargue and Cécilia Cara, return to the roles of Romeo and Juliet. The show allows audiences to see its initial performers on stage once again.

With over 9 million records sold, songs such as Les Rois du monde and Aimer have left a mark on French pop culture. For almost 25 years, the production has travelled across cultures and adapted to its times: new techniques, new stage codes, new audience expectations. True to its core identity while renewing itself, it preserves its signature songs and a sweeping aesthetic.

For Gérard Presgurvic, Roméo & Juliette remains a universal, timeless love story. It poses a question that is still relevant today: how far are we willing to go for love? Shakespeare answers with a power that transcends centuries, and it is this emotion that the creative team continues to share with audiences.

The production returns in a reimagined version, incorporating new generational codes while preserving its essence: an ageless story, universal emotions and a recognized musical signature. This comeback is accompanied by a new cast, new costumes and a new scenography, all designed for today.
