Ben Jackson Walker<\/strong><\/a> is one of the hot young stars of the new Broadway musical & Juliet<\/em><\/strong> and he\u2019s the final feature in our 10 Fun Facts<\/strong><\/a><\/em> series!<\/p>\n

We caught up with several cast members<\/a> from the musical, which is one of the biggest hits of the season. <\/p>\n

Ben <\/strong>is making his Broadway debut as Romeo, but fans might recognize him from appearing in the Paramount+ movie Honor Society<\/em> and episodes of Netflix\u2019s Orange Is the New Black<\/em> and CBS\u2019 Evil<\/em>. <\/p>\n

& Juliet<\/em> is a multi-generational story of self-discovery, empowerment and love, imagining what would happen next if Juliet hadn\u2019t ended it all over Romeo, and got a second chance at life and love \u2013 on her terms. The musical uses songs from Max Martin<\/strong><\/a>\u2018s catalog, including \u201cSince U Been Gone,\u201d \u201cRoar,\u201d \u201cBaby One More Time,\u201d \u201cLarger Than Life,\u201d \u201cThat\u2019s The Way It Is,\u201d \u201cCan\u2019t Stop the Feeling,\u201d and many more.<\/p>\n
