"Romeo & Bernadette: A Musical Tale of Verona & Brooklyn" Extended Through July

(NEW YORK, NY) -- Producer Eric Krebs has announced a five-week extension of the critically-acclaimed hit Off-Broadway production of Romeo & Bernadette: A Musical Tale of Verona and Brooklyn, with book and lyrics by Mark Saltzman, music adapted from classic Italian melodies, directed and choreographed by Justin Ross Cohen. Presented in association with Amas Musical Theatre (Donna Trinkoff, Artistic Producer) at Theater 555 (555 West 42nd Street – between 10th and 11th Avenues), performances will now continue through Sunday, July 31, 2022.

Performances began May 3, 2022, for an announced limited engagement through Sunday afternoon, June 26, 2022. Opening Night was Monday, May 16, 2022.

“With terrific reviews and fabulous word of mouth, I hope to propel Romeo & Bernadette into the must-see Off-Broadway show for the summer,” states Mr. Krebs. “With all the difficult issues in play in our culture, I am thrilled each evening to watch our audiences laugh through two hours of pure joy. I have produced for fifty years, and I can honestly say that this is the production that reminds me best of why I went into theater as a profession and why audiences crave theater so deeply. Also, I am reminded every performance that actors are amazingly talented and brave people.”

Romeo—yes, THAT Romeo—finds himself in 1960 Brooklyn, chasing a girl he believes is his beloved Juliet. But no, it's Bernadette, the beautiful, foul-mouthed daughter of a crime family in this wild spoof of Shakespeare’s timeless tale.

The cast for Romeo & Bernadette features Nikita Burshteyn (Newsies), Anna Kostakis (Romeo & Bernadette), Carlos Lopez (Man of La Mancha), Michael Marotta (Tenderly: The Rosemary Clooney Musical), Judy McLane (Mamma Mia), Michael Notardonato (Romeo & Bernadette), Ari Raskin (Romeo & Bernadette), Troy Valjean Rucker (August Rush) Zach Schanne (Pippin), and Viet Vo (Viet Gone).
