Canadian writer David West Read nabs Tony nomination for ‘& Juliet’

Canadian writer David West Read was nominated Tuesday for a Tony Award for authoring “& Juliet,” a jukebox musical that frames a collection of Max Martin’s pop megahits.

In Read’s script, Juliet not only survives, but she quickly rebounds from the loss of Romeo and takes off to Paris for a fresh start. “I made a rule early on that I wasn’t going to change any of the lyrics other than pronouns or things like that,” Read said in an interview with The Canadian Press last year.
