The upcoming Broadway revival of “Romeo + Juliet” has announced an extension. The Sam Gold-directed production, [originally scheduled](https://www.broadwaynews.com/romeo-juliet-revival-sets-full-cast-and-creative-team/) as a limited engagement through Jan. 19, 2025, will now run through Feb. 16\. “Romeo + Juliet” will begin previews on Sept. 26 and open on Oct. 24 at Circle in the Square Theatre.

While two other plays opening in the 2024-2025 season have announced extensions ([“Oh, Mary!”](https://www.broadwaynews.com/oh-mary-announces-extension/) added an additional two months, while [“Job”](https://www.broadwaynews.com/exclusive-job-on-broadway-receives-extension/) will play for an extra four weeks), “Romeo + Juliet” is the first production of the season to extend prior to the start of previews.

As [previously announced](https://www.broadwaynews.com/kit-connor-and-rachel-zegler-to-make-broadway-debuts-in-romeo-juliet-jack-antonoff-to-provide-original-music/), Sonya Tayeh will serve as movement director and choreographer, while Jack Antonoff will compose original music for the production. [Kit Connor and Rachel Zegler](https://www.broadwaynews.com/kit-connor-and-rachel-zegler-to-make-broadway-debuts-in-romeo-juliet-jack-antonoff-to-provide-original-music/) will make their Broadway debuts as Romeo and Juliet, respectively, two youths who share a forbidden love amid their families’ violent feud.

“Romeo + Juliet” is being produced by Seaview.
