Shakespeare at the Zoo: Romeo & Zooliet

The Saint Louis Zoo is partnering with St. Louis Shakespeare Festival for a wildly fun, original production "Romeo & Zooliet" coming to the Zoo this summer.

"Romeo & Zooliet" will be a family friendly stage adaptation featuring dazzling animal puppetry by world-renowned Michael Curry Design, known for its work on Broadway’s "The Lion King" and "Frozen" along with Olympic and Super Bowl ceremonies. The show will explore what would happen if Zoo animals put on their own Shakespearean performance after keepers go home for the night.

This ground-breaking production adapted from William Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet" will come to the Zoo's Historic Hill July 8 to August 17.
