"THE YOUTH ARE F**KED," shouted all the marketing materials, in a color scheme that Charli XCX would sign off on. The Gen-Z coding was immediate and blatant, and at the same time, the production styled its title Romeo + Juliet."
"One could be forgiven for walking away from this show's two (and a half) hours' traffic thinking that maybe Romeo and Juliet is kind of mid after all. Such is the enervating effect of so aggressively clickbaity and uncurious a production."
"Gold, whose work I have both loved and loathed, has recently been contributing to his show's PR efforts by talking about its opening line: 'Two households, both alike in dignity' ... Our community could use a dose of the feeling that we're more the same than we are different."
"Did it matter...? Marketing is marketing, and it might not have mattered then, but it certainly does now - now being the moment in which you can see all this high-key, try-hard set dressing clogging up Circle in the Square."
