Tom Holland will star as Romeo in a new London West End production of Shakespeare’s romantic tragedy “Romeo and Juliet” (Romeo and Juliet).

It is the first time the British actor and dancer will appear on stage as an adult, having previously starred in ‘Billy Elliot The Musical’ as a child.

The project will be directed by Jamie Lloyd, who recently helmed the revival of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s “Sunset Boulevard” starring Nicole Serzinger.

The show runs at the Duke of York’s Theater from 11 May to 3 August.

The show’s director emphasized in a statement: “Tom Holland is one of the greatest, most exciting young actors in the world. It’s an honor to welcome him back to the West End.”

The 27-year-old actor is best known for his role as Spider-Man in recent superhero films including Spider-Man: Homecoming and Spider-Man: Far From Home.

It has not yet been announced who will play Juliet in the production, but organizers said they will announce further casting news in due course.
