Romeo & Zooliet is a wildly fun, family-friendly stage adaptation of Romeo & Juliet! It explores what would happen if animals at the Saint Louis Zoo put on their own Shakespearean performance after zookeepers go home for the night. The show stage and seating area is designed as an enchanting version of Shakespeare's Globe Theatre within the Zoo's Historic Hill area. "Romeo & Zooliet" is produced as a partnership of the Saint Louis Zoo and the St. Louis Shakespeare Festival.
The production features dazzling animal puppetry by world-renowned Michael Curry Design, known for its work on Broadway's "The Lion King" and "Frozen," as well as Olympic and Super Bowl ceremonies. It is adapted from the award-winning graphic novel "The Stratford Zoo Midnight Review Presents Romeo and Juliet" by Ian Lendler.
Shows are nightly – except Mondays – through August 17. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and the show starts at 7:30 p.m. Tickets for the 85-minute play are available in five different admission tiers ranging from $12.95 per person for blanket lawn seating to $149.95 for the VIP "Royal Banquet" experience, which includes dinner and more. Members of the Saint Louis Zoo receive ticket discounts.
