"I am honored to be apart of bringing this amazing classic story to life and being a witness as Shakespeare's characters are immortalized on the stage."
In this epic production, international film star and Hollywood heartthrob Orlando Bloom will make his long-awaited Broadway debut beside Tony Award nominee Condola Rashad (Stick Fly, The Trip to Bountiful) as they enact the heart-wrenching story of star-crossed lovers.
