Broadway's & Juliet wants a new Playbill cover—and wants it to be designed by you. The show is holding a contest through March 17 that asks fans to submit their own, original artwork via Instagram by tagging @andjulietbway and using the hashtag #andjulietbway. Entries can also be submitted by email at contest@aka.nyc.
A grand prize winner will be featured on the show's Playbill cover for the entire month of May, and the winning artist will get two tickets to the show and a merchandise pack.
The contest is open to legal residents of the U.S. age 18 or older at the time of entry. Parents or legal guardians can submit an entry on the behalf of an entrant under the age of 18. Full rules, terms, and conditions are available at @andjulietbway on Instagram.
The current Broadway cast of & Juliet at the Stephen Sondheim Theatre includes Maya Boyd as Juliet, NSYNC star Joey Fatone as Lance, Alison Luff as Anne, Drew Gehling as Shakespeare, Liam Pearce as Romeo, Michael Iván Carrier as May, Jeannette Bayardelle as Angélique, and Nathan Levy as François.

Nominated for nine Tony Awards,
including Best Musical, & Juliet flips the script on the William Shakespeare
classic, imagining what would happen next if Juliet hadn’t ended it all
over Romeo. Featuring a book by David West Read, the score includes a
mix of tunes by Max Martin and more, including “Since U Been Gone,”
“Roar,” “I Want It That Way,” and “Confident.”
