Just when you think you’ve seen every iteration of “Romeo and Juliet”—the Zeffirelli film (1968), the Baz Luhrmann movie (1996), and of course “West Side Story”—along comes the Hong Kong Ballet production of R & J (City Center) which blows the roof of your greatest expectations.
This production sounds wonderful and fresh and energetic. But Zeffirelli’s Romeo and Juliet will always take the gold for “most beautiful and sexy couple in a Shakespearean role”.
