This won't be the first time Dr Ranj has performed for an audience as he previously competed on Strictly Come Dancing and All Star Musicals, before starring in his own sold-out West End show Scrubs to Sparkles.
Created by Schitt's Creek writer David West Read, & Juliet puts a spin on the tale of the classic Shakespeare character "as Juliet ditches her famous ending for a fresh beginning and a second chance at life and love—her way."
"This hilarious new musical flips the script on the greatest love story ever told and asks, what would happen next if Juliet didn't end it all over Romeo?" the synopsis reads.
