Tom Holland's Romeo And Juliet production is heading to Broadway later this year. The 27-year-old actor is starring as Romeo in the 12-week run of William Shakespeare's tragedy in London from next month, and the demand for tickets has been so overwhelming that the show is going to head across the Atlantic as fans of the Spiderman star clamour to see him tread the boards once again.
"While director Jamie Lloyd has made a name for himself for his minimalist adaptations of classic texts, the headline grabber for what is essentially yet another production of Romeo And Juliet is undoubtedly its leading man. Holland started his career on the West End playing the titular role in Billy Elliot: The Musical before establishing himself as a movie star and Lloyd described it as an"honour" to be overseeing his stage return.
The play is running at the Duke of York's Theatre in London from May 11 until Aug 3, and Holland will be joined by Francesca Amewudah-Rivers as Juliet although the theatre company had to respond to"deplorable racial abuse" following the casting announcement.
