[edit] Plot
The musical differs from Shakespeare's play: the original Elizabethan English text is hardly used, almost everyone is aware of the lovers' "secret" marriage, and the nature of the lovers' deaths is different, depending on the production. Lord Montague is only seen in the British production, and new characters such as Death (French, Belgian, Netherlands, and Moscow productions only) and the Poet (French production only) appear for dramatic effect. Lady Capulet has a greatly increased role, and is more often than not the voice of reason.
