Les Rois du Monde – Roméo & Juliette

Music & Lyrics by: Gerard Presgurvic

Based on Romeo & Juliet by William Shakespeare


This is essentially the Romeo & Juliet story that we’re all familiar with, but there have been a few changes made. Read through the synopsis to find out more. You can also read it in French.

If you’d still like to know more, take a look through the lyrics.


Romeo and Juliet is definitely one of Shakespeare’s best-known plays, an integral part of our culture. It has been peformed countless times, and has been turned into ballet and films, as well as set to music. Read more about the play that started it all.

So how did this particular adaptation of the play come into being? Read more about the development of the show.


I’ve only got the highlights recording of this show so far, but that’s bound to change soon. Read my review of this CD or listen to one of my favourite songs.

There is also a DVD available of a performance of the show at the Palais de Congres in Paris – read my review of the video.


I haven’t seen this show on stage yet, but I’m hoping that will change in the very near future, since it’s playing in Quebec at the moment. I’ll be sure to add some thoughts here when I do see it!
