Romeo and Juliet is a filmed performance of the 2013 Broadway theatrical production of William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet starring Orlando Bloom and Condola Rashad which was produced as a 2014 film by BroadwayHD and Fathom Events.

Production background

It was the first Broadway production of the play Romeo and Juliet since 1977. The play ran on Broadway at Richard Rodgers Theatre from September 19 to December 8, 2013, for 93 regular performances after 27 previews starting on August 24 with Orlando Bloom and Condola Rashad in the starring roles.

This production depicts Romeo and his Montague family with white actors, while Juliet and her Capulet family are depicted with black actors.
