Chicago Repertory Ballet proudly unveils its boldest production yet—The Capulets—a stunning new full-length ballet conceived and choreographed by CRB’s Founding Artistic Director, Wade Schaaf.

Set to an evocative original score by Matty Mattsson, with immersive projection design by John Pobojewski of SPAN Design, The Capulets reimagines Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet with a thrilling twist.

This isn’t the story you know.

Instead of the star-crossed lovers, the ballet dives deep into the world of Lady Capulet—her secret affair with Tybalt, the explosive tensions within the Capulet household, and the emotional unraveling of a family on the edge. Haunting, cinematic, and utterly original, this world premiere promises a gripping fusion of dance, music, and visual storytelling you won’t find anywhere else.
