Roméo & Juliette

Roméo & Juliette has already captivated more than 11 million spectators worldwide. Translated into 18 languages and performed in 20 countries, the show premiered in 2001 at the Palais des Congrès, where it drew nearly 2.5 million attendees. From the very beginning, it was carried by the duo Damien Sargue and Cécilia Cara.

Audiences can find the original duo on stage.

Cécilia Cara: "I was chosen at 15 to play Juliet, a role that marked the start of my life as an artist. Reprising it twenty years later alongside Damien was a powerful moment, as if we had never been apart, enriched by what life has brought us. This return has symbolic value: coming back to where it all began, with 25 years of experience that now feed the characters. The story still brings people together and conveys emotion."

Damien Sargue: "Returning to Paris after taking Roméo & Juliette around the world, notably in Asia, has a special resonance. This role has accompanied me since 2001, and revisiting it today with Cécilia, with the perspective and maturity that time has given us, brings a new depth to this adventure."

With more than 9 million records sold and songs 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 adapted to the changes of its time: new techniques, new staging conventions, new audience expectations. It retains what defines it: well-known songs, a refined aesthetic, and a strong sense of spectacle.

For Gérard Presgurvic, Roméo & Juliette tells a love story that poses a question that remains relevant: how far are we willing to go for love? Shakespeare answers it with a power that transcends the centuries. Reuniting Damien Sargue and Cécilia Cara, more than twenty years after their debuts, brings a new depth to the show, nourished by their experience.

The show returns in a reimagined version, incorporating new generational codes while preserving its essence. This comeback comes with a new cast, new costumes and a new scenography, designed for today without changing the show's DNA. The production will be presented on April 23, 2028 at 1:00 PM at the Zénith Toulouse Métropole.
