This summer, & Juliet is doing something special. On Thursday, July 2, the Royal Alexandra Theatre will host the show’s first-ever Chilled Performance – a more welcoming, lower-pressure way to experience one of the most joyful musicals on stage right now.
If you’ve ever skipped a show because the rules of a traditional theatre felt like too much, this one may be for you!
So, What’s a Chilled Performance?
Here’s what makes it different from a relaxed performance: nothing about the show itself changes. Same lights, same sound, same full production. What changes is the etiquette around it. The usual expectations like staying seated, staying quiet, staying put until intermission, are part of the tradition but they aren’t comfortable for everyone. A Chilled Performance simply eases them.
At a Chilled Performance the space is intentionally built to welcome neurodivergent audiences, people living with dementia, carers, and parents with babes-in-arms or very young kids. You’re free to vocalize, stim, move around, or step out whenever you need to.
To make that comfortable, the performance includes:
- Quiet spaces to step away and reset
- Fidget toys available throughout
- Headsets for sound sensitivity
- ALD (assisted listening devices)
- Content warnings so you know what’s coming
The goal is simple: a room where everyone can enjoy the show in a more relaxed environment.
