The producers of & Juliet on Broadway announced today that Grammy Award® winner and Tony Award® & Emmy Award® nominee Kandi Burruss will return to the stage this winter in the hit Broadway musical. Burruss will join the cast as ‘Angélique’ for a limited engagement beginning December 11, 2025 through March 8, 2026.
Burruss made her Broadway debut in the long-running hit musical Chicago in 2018, and has since become an accomplished theater producer for shows such as The Piano Lesson (Tony Award nomination), The Wiz, Othello, and the upcoming Joe Turner’s Come and Gone. She returns to the stage in the hit Max Martin musical comedy this year, though Burruss herself is no stranger to the music world. She was a member of the R&B female vocal group Xscape, and also has songwriting credits that include Destiny’s Child’s Grammy-nominated “Bills, Bills, Bills,” and TLC’s Grammy-winning “No Scrubs,” along with fan favorite songs from Pink, Ariana Grande, Ed Sheeran, and more.
“I could not be more thrilled to return to the Broadway stage in this incredible musical,” Burruss said. “As a songwriter myself, I am such a fan of Max Martin’s genius mind, and to get to come back to Broadway in this joyful musical that celebrates his catalog is a dream come true.”
Tickets for & Juliet are now on sale through May 2026, and available now at the Stephen Sondheim Theatre box office (starting at $56.00 including fees) or at AndJulietBroadway.com (starting at $69.00 including fees).
& Juliet flips the script on the greatest love story ever told, imagining what would happen next if Juliet hadn’t ended it all over Romeo, and got a second chance at life and love – on her terms. Juliet’s new story bursts to life through a playlist of pop anthems as iconic as her name. Nominated for 9 Tony Awards including Best Musical, & Juliet is created by David West Read, the Emmy-winning writer from “Schitt’s Creek,” and features an iconic playlist of pop music’s #1 hitmaker, Max Martin including “Since U Been Gone,” “Roar,” “I Want It That Way,” “Confident,” and more. The production is directed by Luke Sheppard with choreography by Jennifer Weber.
