Running time: 1 hour and 16 minutes, no intermission.

In a stunning Los Angeles debut, choreographer Benjamin Millepied offers an innovative and contemporary vision of Prokofiev’s masterpiece Romeo & Juliet. Navigating between film, dance and theater – both on stage and off, Millepied reinterprets Shakespeare’s star-crossed lovers as young adults in an urban environment where social norms prevent them from living out their love story. Each performance features a different cast of dancers mixing genders and roles in a never-before-seen celebration of love.
