Christmas in Ballarat 2025 – & Juliet Presented by Ballarat Lyric Theatre

Performing as part of the Christmas in Ballarat 2025 entertainment programme are the Ballarat Lyric Theatre cast of & Juliet.

From the Emmy-winning writer of Schitt’s Creek, & Juliet flips the script on the world’s most famous love story. What if Juliet didn’t end it all over Romeo, and instead, chose her own ending? Set to a playlist of pop anthems as iconic as Juliet herself, including Since U Been Gone, Roar, Baby One More Time, Larger Than Life, That’s The Way It Is, and Can’t Stop the Feeling!, this hilarious and heartwarming new musical dares to imagine a life after Romeo, full of possibility, empowerment, and pop bangers. With music from Swedish songwriting sensation Max Martin (the mind behind more #1 hits than any other artist this century) and a book by David West Read, & Juliet premiered on London’s West End in 2019, winning 3 Olivier Awards and 6 WhatsOnStage Awards. It took Broadway by storm in 2022 with 9 Tony Award nominations, including Best Musical.

Now, this coming-of-age jukebox sensation arrives in Ballarat, brought to you by Ballarat Lyric Theatre in February 2026.
