After an overwhelming start, which attracted over 200,000 spectators in a very short time and was performed almost every night in the last three months of the last season in front of a sold-out house, the stars of the production return to the stage: Romeo, Juliet, Mercutio, who only has eyes for Romeo, and the incomparable Nurse, who simply comments on everything.

Pop songs about love and arias take turns

The multi-award-winning production, celebrated by press and audience alike, will start its revival on April 17, 2025. Romeo & Juliet - a love story that has endured for more than four centuries without losing its appeal. This is due to the ingredients that everyone knows: love, passion, longing, deprivation and the willingness to go to extremes for the other. But above all, love. Very great love.

Success of Ku'damm 56 encourages the two composers Plate and Summer

The heartbreaking tragedy by William Shakespeare (1564 - 1616) is no ordinary drama for Peter Plate and Ulf Leo Sommer. Not only because the first act in particular is always extremely funny. “Tragedy and comedy are so close together here, as they are in real life. That's why we're so in love with this material,” enthuses Plate. And Sommer adds: “Romeo & Juliet deals with the three existential themes that have accompanied and fascinated us in our songs for 30 years: Love, sex, death.

We feel right at home in this play!”   The special thing about the musical version of “Romeo & Juliet - Love is Everything” from the pen of Germany's most influential composer duo: Plate & Sommer will be singing, but Shakespeare will be speaking. This means that the beautiful, often comical, sometimes wicked dialog of Schlegel's translation has only been slightly edited.

Romeo & Juliet staged in a modern way

The love story of Romeo & Juliet is wrapped up in many new stunning songs, which come in a genre mix that is rarely seen in musicals. “This mixture of opposites works very well,” says Plate happily.
