Plot
The musical differs from Shakespeare's play: the original Elizabethan English text is hardly used, almost everyone is aware of the lovers' "secret" marriage, and the nature of the lovers' deaths is different, depending on the production. Lord Montague is only seen in the British production, and new characters such as Death (French, Belgian, Netherlands, and Moscow productions only) and the Poet (French production only) appear for dramatic effect. Lady Capulet has a greatly increased role, and is more often than not the voice of reason. The role of Tybalt has changed slightly from being purely dark to a more pitiful character, his growing up with the hate and a dark childhood.
Synopsis
- Act 1
"Every stories begins the same way... Nothing new under the moon... This is Romeo and Juliet's story..." (Ouverture)
A long-standing feud between the two leading families of the city of Verona, the Montagues and the Capulets, regularly erupts into violence on the city's streets. Irritated, the Prince of Verona decrees, on pain of death, the absolute prohibition on fighting in the city (Vérone). While Lady Capulet and Lady Montague denounce the violence of the two clans (La haine), Romeo (the sole heir of the Montagues) and Juliet (the daughter of the Capulets) are hopelessly in search for love (Un jour).
At the Capulets, a ball is being held so that Juliet can meet Count Paris, who asked Lord Capulet for her hand (La demande en mariage, Tu dois te marier). In Verona, Romeo and his friends, Benvolio and Mercutio, hang about the streets (Les rois du monde, La folie). Romeo is afraid of... he doesn't really know, but he's afraid (J'ai peur). In the hope of distracting him, Benolio and Mercutio, persuade him to accompany them, in disguise, to a ball being held at the house of the Capulets (Le bal). At his first sight of Juliet, the daughter of the Capulets, Romeo instantly falls in love with her, without knowing who she is (L'amour heureux). Tybalt recognize Romeo and informs Juliet's parents. Romeo and Juliet learn from the Nurse who they are (Le bal 2). Tybalt, broken (he loves Juliet in secret), acknowledges that he is the son of hate and contempt (C'est pas ma faute).
After the ball, Juliet takes refuge in her room and dreams of Romeo (Le poète), who woos her at great personal risk in the Capulets' garden. They exchange lovers' vows and plan to marry in secret as soon as possible (Le balcon). Knowing that their families will never agree to their marriage, Romeo meets Friar Lawrence and asks him to marry them. He accepts hoping that this union will reconcile the two families (Par amour).
In the morning, Romeo meets his friends and tells the Nurse, who everyone makes fun of (Les beaux, les laids), that Friar Lawrence will marry them the following afternoon. The Nurse, who deeply loves Juliet as her own daughter, announces the good news to Juliet (Et voilà qu'elle aime). Finally, Romeo and Juliet are married (Aimer).
- Act 2
The next day, Benvolio and Mercutio meet Romeo : they accuse him of betrayal (On dit dans la rue). Out on the streets of Verona, Tybalt-unaware of his new blood tie to Romeo- searches Romeo (C'est le jour) and when he finds him, challenges him to a fight, which Romeo refuses (Le duel). Mercutio takes up the challenge and is mortally wounded. Driven by guilt, vengeance and youthful-hotheadedness, Romeo kills Tybalt (Mort de Mercutio). The two families, plunged into mourning, ask for revenge to the Prince (La vengeance). Finally, he banishes Romeo from Verona and thinks about the political power (Le pouvoir). In her bedroom, Juliet learns the bad news from the Nurse. She is torn between the love for her cousin and for her husband. Romeo goes at Friar Lawrence's. He thinks banishment is worse than death (Duo du désespoir).
Romeo and Juliet spend their wedding night together and Romeo makes his escape to Mantua (Le chant de l'alouette).
Hardly after her husband has left Juliet is informed by her parents that she is to be married to Paris. She refuses and they threaten to disown her (Demain). Upset, Lord Capulet sings the love he has for his daughter (Avoir une fille). In her room, Juliet asks why he has to obey (Pourquoi). In Mantua, Romeo thinks of Juliet. In desperation, she turns to Friar Lawrence, who devises an ingenious plan, which he hopes will ultimately bring a happy ending for both the lovers and their two families (Sans elle).
Juliet appears to go along with the marriage plans but, in the night before the wedding, she takes the drug prepared by Friar Lawrence which make her appear as if death (Le poison). Juliet is duly laid in the family vault, hoping to wake up to find Romeo waiting for her. Unfortunately, The Friar's message telling Romeo of the plan somehow goes astray, and instead he hears only from Benvolio that his wife Juliet is dead (Comment lui dire).
Grief stricken, he breaks into the Capulet vault, finds what he believes to be the mortal remains of his beloved, and takes poison to be reunited with her in death (Mort de Roméo). Soon afterwards, Juliet awakes to find his husband dead and she stabs herself with Romeo's dagger (La mort de Juliette). Friar Lawrence enters the vault and finds the two lovers dead. He complains to God (J'sais plus).
When the whole story is told, the two devastated families agree henceforward to live in peace (Coupables).
Principal differences
Costumes
- French version : The costumes are 14th century with a bit of 20th century and consist of leather. The Montagues are in blue, the Capulets in red and Verona's representatives in brown and grey.
- French Canadian version : The costumes are mostly all the same (as in the Original Production) except for Juliet's, and they are less fancy.
- Belgian / Netherlands (Dutch) version : Most of the costumes are like the Original's costumes, except the costumes of Lady Montague, the Priest, the Nurse, Mercutio, Julia's ball and wedding gowns are different.
- British version : The British costumes are very different from the French and the Dutch. The British costumes are a mixture of Renaissance, Victorian, Elizabethan, and 20th Century. The color's for the Capulet's are a deep blue and white, while the Montague's are a dark red and black; ultimately reversed in color from the Original.
- Hungarian version : They are different from all the productions; some look like costumes out of Moulin Rouge, a type of dark 1900's Parisian era mixed in with a twinge of West Side Story; though a couple of the costumes also look a Medieval. In general they show more skin, and some seem more futuristic (especially Benvolio's).
- Russian version : Costumes are a mix of the French, Belgian, and a new design style.
- Austrian version : Dominique Borg (original designer for the French costumes) went in the direction of a more futuristic feel to the German costumes. They are more skin-tight, and vibrant, but they still have that 14th century touch.
- Asian version : Some of the costumes remind of the costumes seen in the movie Moulin Rouge!, though different from the costumes in the Hungarian Production. The Montague men and other male roles wear coats very similar to a trench coat. The other costumes, more so of the women dancers, are similar to those of the costumes from the Hungarian production - still a medieval-esque look with bold colors.
The deaths of Romeo and Juliet
- French version : In the French production, after Romeo sings "Mort de Romeo", the character known as "Death" kills Romeo with a kiss. When Juliet wakes up to find him dead, she sings her song "La Mort de Juliette" and then Death hands her Romeo's dagger, killing herself
- French Canadian version : After singing "Mort de Romeo", Romeo drinks a poison and falls lifeless in front of Juliet's "death bed"; Juliet then finds him dead, and with his head on her lap she sings "La Mort de Juliette" and then kills herself with Romeo's dagger.
- Belgian / Netherlands (Dutch) version : The same scenario as the Original happens in this version.
- British version : Romeo and Juliet both kill themselves with Romeo's dagger.
- Hungarian version : Taking Juliet into a harnest, Romeo hangs himself as he is strapped to Juliet. Juliet kills herself with Romeo's dagger, but she slits her wrists instead of bringing the dagger into her stomach.
- Russian version : Since the role of Death is played by a male, he does not kiss Romeo but "sucks the life out of him". So, he basically just puts his lips together and sucks his breath in. Juliette kills herself with Romeo's dagger as in many of the other productions.
- Austrian version : Romeo drinks a vial of poison, and similar to Romeo + Juliet, Juliet wakes up just in time to watch him die. She kills herself with Romeo's dagger.
- Asian version : Romeo drinks a vial of poison. And like in the 1996 movie with Leonardo Diacprio and Claire Danes, Juliet wakes up just in time to watch him die. She kills herself with Romeo's dagger.
