We are thrilled to announce that our five-star hit musical show,
S4K's Romeo & Juliet - The Musical will be touring the UK from September 2008, opening at The Palace Theatre, Mansfield
The show will tour across the country until December and then return for the spring season (with S4K's The Tempest) before touring internationally in the spring of 2009.
Critics were unanimous in their praise for the show's last tour:
The company take Shakespeare’s well-plotted tale of star-crossed lovers and throw in the kind of magic that children expect to see but rarely get when they walk into a theatre
The Stage
An energetic, enthusiastic cast, quality writing, music and choreography, Shakespeare 4 Kidz go from strength to strength.
Yorkshire Pocklington Post
Hundreds of schoolchildren roared their approval before going home and
no doubt telling their parents: "You should have been there". It was
that good
If William Shakespeare could see this musical version of his famous love story, staged by the hugely talented Shakespeare 4 Kidz company, I'm sure he would be delighted.
Wolverhampton Midlands Observer
The musical numbers with which the show is sprinkled were packed with a modern beat, comedy or, of course, romance, and all elicited much applause.
Such is the reputation of this company, that teachers know their pupils will love the show even though, as I confirmed with the youngsters sitting behind me, they had studied the story and knew the ending was a sad one.
Croydon Advertiser
Don't miss out!! This show is perfect for all children studying Shakespeare at any level (KS2, KS3 and KS4), and is a hit with familes of all ages up and down the country.
Come see what all the fuss is about - now you'll UNDERSTAND why they fell in love.
Our full touring schedule is available here.

"Paul Parris is utterly compelling as Hamlet and gives the most heartfelt Yoric speech I think I've ever heard." Watford Observer
SOMETHING IS ROTTEN IN THE STATE OF DENMARK
Prince Hamlet has returned home to attend his father’s funeral… and his mother’s sudden marriage to his Uncle Claudius, who has now become king! So when Hamlet meets the ghost of his dead father, he sets out upon a mysterious story of murder, intrigue and revenge – all the time trying to prove once and for all that his uncle is the murderer.
Our brand new musical theatre adaptation of HAMLET commences an eight month long UK tour in September.
Shakespeare 4 Kidz bring their unique musical storytelling style to the most famous Shakespeare play of them all – “To see or not to see? – THAT is the question!”
