"Though Hernandez's role, Charmion, is nonspeaking, she spends most of the 2.5-hour musical performing in a vibrant, energetic environment."
Laurie Hernandez, a silver Olympic medalist, is making her Broadway debut in the musical & Juliet. After winning two Olympic medals and a Dancing with the Stars title, she pursued a drama major at NYU, completing an impressive 50 credits in one year. Her passion for Broadway led her to audition for & Juliet, a musical that reimagines Shakespeare's story. Hernandez plays Charmion, a nonspeaking role, in a production that combines pop music with a feminist narrative.
