“Romeo and Juliet” at the Richard Rodgers Theater (through November 24, 2013)



Romeo and Juliet



Orlando Blum and Condola Rashad



Famed musical comedy author/lyricists Betty Comden and Adolph Green once satirically reminded us in their 1958 musical comedy Bells are Ringing just how important the phone is in getting a message delivered: "Those kids would be alive today," they wrote. They were, of course, referring to Romeo and Juliet the love sick teenagers who unfortunately did not have access to a phone. A cell phone perhaps a text message gone astray could have served as an amusing gimmick in this otherwise passionately invoked, slickly staged, modern-dress production now on Broadway.
