'Romeo + Juliet' review: 'Heartstopper' star Kit Connor shines in hollow Broadway show
Briefly

Kit Connor’s performance in ‘Romeo + Juliet’ shines as a striking contrast to the surrounding violence, making his Broadway debut a must-see experience.
Connor’s ability to connect with the audience and fellow actors in the intimate theater setting heightens the emotional stakes of the tragic romance.
Relations in the play shift dramatically throughout the five-day whirlwind, and Connor’s convincing portrayal invites us to sympathize with the ill-fated lovers.
While Rachel Zegler, as Juliet, has a strong stage presence, her performance raises questions about her character’s depth against Connor's captivating portrayal.
