Kit Connor and Rachel Zegler Star in New Music Video

It was announced earlier this year that Rachel Zegler from West Side Story and Kit Connor, known for his breakout role in Heartstopper, are slated to portray Shakespeare's iconic tragic lovers, Romeo and Juliet, on Broadway. An announcement yesterday informed us that the production will take place at The Circle In The Square, with previews starting on 26 September, and officially opening on 24 October.

This highly anticipated Broadway production of Romeo + Juliet, will be directed by Tony award-winner Sam Gold. Gold, who has previously helmed other Shakespearean plays like Macbeth, Othello, and King Lear, aims to create a show that celebrates youth, hope, and channels the frustration young people experience in today's world.

Adding to the excitement, Grammy-winning artist and songwriter Jack Antonoff will contribute new music to the production. Antonoff, known for his collaborations with Taylor Swift and The 1975, brings his musical flair to the classic yet tragic love story.

Antonoff's musical efforts can be heard in the exciting music video that accompanied the video release starring Connor and Zegler, which can be viewed below.
