Rachel Zegler and Kit Connor have officially taken their first bows on Broadway and we can share an inside look at the very first performance of their Romeo + Juliet production. The young stars are starring in director Sam Gold ‘s new take on the classic Shakespeare play and they performed the first preview on Thursday (September 26) at the Circle in the Square Theater in New York City. Tommy Dorfman is also making her Broadway debut in the production and Tony nominee Gabby Beans is also in the cast.
Following the performance, Rachel , Kit , and the rest of the cast joined fans at the stage door for a full-on party with DJ Amber Valentine spinning tunes for the nearly 1,000 fans who tried to get a glimpse of the cast following the show. Festivities continued at an exclusive underground party in the subway station at See No Evil Pizza and Nothing Really Matters. “One fan even passed out from the sheer excitement of seeing Kit Connor in person,” an insider told People .
It was announced recently that a limited number of floor seats will be available for every performance, putting audiences at the edge of the action each night. Get your tickets now while they’re still available. The production will end on February 16, 2025.
