"Beauty leads to attraction, but intelligence leads to love!"
Atlantic Records It's been in the works for a while, and now, & Juliet, a new musical featuring chart-topping pop hits made famous by The Backstreet Boys, *NSYNC, Britney Spears and more, hits the stage in the U.K. tonight, Tuesday. While there are no current plans to bring it to the U.S., you'll be able to hear the soundtrack on November 20.
As previously reported, & Juliet tells its story through songs created by super-producer Max Martin, who's written more #1 hits than anyone but John Lennon and Paul McCartney. It tells an alternate version of the Romeo & Juliet story, in which Juliet goes on a "sensational journey of self-discovery and second chances."
The soundtrack arrives November 20, and features hits made famous by Backstreet, Britney and *NSYNC -- as well as Pink, Katy Perry, Ariana Grande, Jessie J, Demi Lovato, Bon Jovi, Ellie Goulding, Kelly Clarkson, The Weeknd, Adam Lambert and more.
The musical will run from tonight through October 12 at Manchester Opera House in Manchester, England, and then move to London's Shaftesbury Theatre starting November 20.

I thought maybe they'd use Ghost Town but nope, it's WWFM and sung by the actors. Based on the educational reading material I posted we might see a spike in Wiki views or Adam's version views as people compare.
As soon as I read "alternate version of Romeo & Juliet" WWFM was the first song I thought of ... cool!
