Welcome back to the 96th episode of The Cup which is our a weekly (give or take, TBD, these are unprecedented times) performing arts talk show presented by Cup of Hemlock Theatre. With the theatres on a come back we offer a mix of both reviews of live shows we've seen and continued reviews of prophet productions! For our 96th episode we have a Duet Review of the Mirvish’s production of the new musical, & Juliet, written by David West Read and Max Martin, directed by Luke Sheppard, and starring Lorna Courtney in the title role. Join Jillian Robinson and Ryan Borochovitz as they discuss early 2000s pop music, Shakespearean fanfiction, and the magic of asking “what if…?” & Juliet is playing at the Princess of Wales Theatre (300 King Street West, Toronto, ON) until August 14, 2022 – after which it goes to Broadway! Tickets can be purchased from the following link: https://www.mirvish.com/shows/juliet    This review contains SPOILERS for & Juliet. It will begin with a general non-spoiler review until the [0:10:44] mark, followed by a more in-depth/anything goes/spoiler-rich discussion. If you intend to see the production, we recommend you stop watching after that point, or at least proceed at your own risk.
