Orlando Bloom: Broadway’s ‘Romeo And Juliet’ Trailer & Stills!

Check out Orlando Bloom, making his Broadway debut opposite two-time Tony Award nominee Condola Rashad, in some newly released stills for their upcoming Broadway play, the classic tragic romance, “Romeo and Juliet“.

This production – directed by five-time Tony Award nominee David Leveaux – marks the first time in 36 years that the play has been produced for Broadway. This version of the classic tale will retain Shakespeare’s original language but have a modern setting in which members of the Montague family will be white, and the Capulet family will be black.

Here’s a sneak peak at the play:
