Newly released production shots are giving us a first look at Broadway's new revival of Shakespeare's Romeo + Juliet, currently playing at the Circle in the Square Theatre with Sam Gold at the helm. Take a look at the production in the gallery below.

 Emmy winner Kit Connor (Heartstopper) and Golden Globe winner Rachel Zegler (María in Steven Spielberg’s West Side Story) star as Romeo and Juliet, respectively. The production features music by Grammy winner Jack Antonoff and movement by Tony winner Sonya Tayeh.

Press notes for the revival describe the classic tragedy as such: "The youth are fucked. Left to their own devices in their parents’ world of violent ends, an impulsive pair of star-crossed lovers hurtle towards their inescapable fate. The intoxicating high of passion quickly descends into a brutal chaos that can only end one way."
