Juliet writes her own next chapter
The Empire's 2026 in-house production of & Juliet brought a cast of more than two dozen young performers to its Toowoomba stage. Directed by Tim Hill, the musical imagines what might happen if Juliet's story continued beyond the ending of Shakespeare's tragedy.
The show pairs a book by David West Read with songs from Max Martin's catalogue, replacing a tragic conclusion with a coming-of-age story told through pop music and dance. For a regional producing theatre, the season brought local performers and a professional creative team together around a contemporary large-scale musical.
Moving fixtures for the musical season
Krank'd supplied Chauvet Professional Maverick Storm 2 fixtures for The Empire's lighting package. Our hire covered the production period around the March season.
The production brought the colour and scale of pop performance into a theatre season, with a large young cast and scenic world sharing the stage. Our moving-fixture supply supported the production's lighting team across that setting. The images are by Cassidy Cloupet and Justin Nicholas.
