Review: & Julia

”Oh baby baby, how was I supposed to know, that something wasn’t right here?” Goosebumps rise as Renée Böök, 26, launches into her first solo number on stage as Julia, Romeo’s beloved, in the musical &Julia.

Renée’s rendition of Britney Spears’s classic hit easily holds its own against the original. From the very first notes, it is clear that a new musical theatre star is on the rise – and that she makes an utterly captivating modern-day Julia. Renée’s voice is confident and rich, and she brings just the right amount of attitude to the role of a rebellious young woman.
