Here, audiences will see the 1996 cult classic Romeo & Juliet, starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Danes, a modern retelling of Shakespeare’s most famous tale.

Truly immerse yourself at Backyard Cinema, as you walk down a candlelit aisle to see the live choir on stage, ready to perform interpretations of songs from the film’s soundtrack, including Young Hearts, Everybody’s Free, Kissing You and Doves Cry.

Backyard Cinema’s extremely limited run of Manchester shows for Romeo & Juliet will take place between the 4th and 7th of September 2025, with tickets expected to sell out quickly – so act fast!
