Tom Holland<\/a>‘s ‘Romeo and Juliet’ production is heading to Broadway later this year.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Tom Holland is going to tread the boards on Broadway<\/p>\n

The 27-year-old actor is starring as Romeo in the 12-week run of William Shakespeare<\/a>‘s tragedy in London from next month and the demand for tickets has been so overwhelming that the show is going to head across the Atlantic as fans of the ‘Spider-Man’ star clamour to see him tread the boards once again.<\/p>\n

A source told The Mirror: “‘Romeo and Juliet’ will head to Broadway after its London run, with details to be announced in due course. <\/p>\n

“While director Jamie Lloyd has made a name for himself for his minimalist adaptations of classic texts, the headline grabber for what is essentially yet another production of ‘Romeo and Juliet’ is undoubtedly its leading man.<\/p>\n

“Fans can’t wait to watch the Marvel hero test out his acting chops up close and personal, and with tickets costing around \u00a3200, it’s an incredibly lucrative earner.”<\/p>\n

\nTom started his career on the West End playing the titular role in ‘Billy Elliot: The Musical’ before establishing himself as a movie star and Lloyd described it as an “honour” to be overseeing his stage return.<\/p>\n

\nHe said: “Tom Holland is one of the greatest, most exciting young actors in the world. It is an honour to welcome him back to the West End.”<\/p>\n

\nThe play is running at the Duke of York’s Theatre in London from May 11 until August 3 and Tom will be joined by Francesca Amewudah-Rivers as Juliet although the theatre company had to respond to “deplorable racial abuse” following the casting announcement.<\/p>\n

\nA statement read: “This must stop.<\/p>\n

\n“We are working with a remarkable group of artists. We insist that they are free to create work without facing online harassment.<\/p>\n

\n“We will continue to support and protect everyone in our company at all costs. Any abuse will not be tolerated and will be reported.<\/p>\n

\n“Bullying and harassment have no place online, in our industry or in our wider communities.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
