Get ready for a unique twist on Romeo and Juliet like you’ve never seen before! Twin Cities Ballet proudly presents the world premiere of Romeo & Juliet: The Rock Ballet, an electrifying fusion of Shakespeare’s timeless story with the iconic music of Queen.

TCB’s groundbreaking performance comes to life with the high-energy sounds of local band Mark Joseph’s Dragon Attack live on stage, creating an experience that will thrill both ballet enthusiasts and fans of Queen’s music!

Set in a dystopian future where rival gangs battle for survival and dominance in a post-apocalyptic urban wasteland, this visually stunning production takes Romeo and Juliet into a bold, modern world with breathtaking choreography, original set, costume, lighting, and captivating multimedia projections. This sensory feast will fuel your imagination and keep you on the edge of your seat with its thrilling modern twist on the classic story.

Prepare to be swept away by Shakespeare’s tragic love story reimagined for a new generation—packed with heart, intensity, passion, and fantastic dancing. Romeo & Juliet: The Rock Ballet is more than just a show; it’s an unforgettable, high-octane, emotional ride all wrapped in the epic soundscape of Queen’s music that you won’t want to miss.

Content Warning: Romeo & Juliet: The Rock Ballet contains themes of suicide and murder (as in the original Shakespeare play). There is also a gunshot sound effect.
