| When I saw ''Romeo + Juliet,'' that might've been the youngest Broadway audience I've ever seen, full of Gen Zers, and they ate up the show. And while the play is called ''Romeo + Juliet,'' it's really Romeo's show. Whether it's his British upbringing or stage background, Kit Connor speaks the Shakespeare with such command and clarity that it made him the charismatic highlight among his cast. No wonder he got the lion's share of raves: The Hollywood Reporter: ''The standout of this cast is Connor, who invests Romeo with such innocence, impetuousness, romantic ecstasy and lacerating sorrow he breaks your heart.'' Entertainment Weekly: ''Connor delivers a star-making performance as the endlessly charming Romeo, imbuing the teen with what can only be described as golden retriever energy. '' Sam Gold's imaginative staging of the iconic balcony scene also gives Connor and Zegler the show's most memorable and meme-able moment. Earlier this year, Connor's ''Heartstopper'' co-star, Joe Locke, made his Broadway debut in ''Sweeney Todd.'' And each is a showstopper onstage, too. |
