•    Private Pre-Show Reception: Enjoy complimentary cocktails and hors d'oeuvres before the curtain rises.
•    Prime Seating: Experience the show from some of the best seats in the house.
•    A New Kind of Love Story: Watch Juliet trade her "famous ending" for a fresh beginning, set to a soundtrack of iconic pop anthems including: “Since U Been Gone,” “Larger Than Life,” “…Baby One More Time,” “I Want It That Way,” “It’s Gonna Be Me,” “Roar,” “It’s My Life,” “That’s The Way It Is,” and more.
