"Any hotter and it would incinerate before your eyes" Philadelphia City Paper

Rome and Jewels is a hip hop Romeo and Juliet, created by the US's leading hip hop choreographer, Rennie Harris. Featuring twelve dancers and three DJs, the show retells Shakespeare's story in a way guaranteed to appeal to young audiences.

The dialogue is tough and raw, the choreography breath taking, with the rival factions - the Caps and the Monsterques - represented through dance.
