The premiere of BroadwayHD's production of Romeo and Juliet starring Orlando Bloom (The Hobbit, Lord of the Rings, Pirates of the Caribbean) as Romeo and Condola Rashad (Smash, Sex and the City 2) as Juliet was held in NYC on Tuesday night. The standing room only crowd was mesmerized by this beautiful screen version of the Broadway play. The country's leading alternative content provider, Screenvision, and newly formed company BroadwayHD are screening the production for an exclusive run in movie theatres from February 13-19.

The stunningly modern stage production received acclaimed-reviews, including this from the New York Times: "Mr Bloom in a first-rate Broadway debut and the gifted Rashad exude a too fine for this world purity that makes their characters' love feel sacred." In addition to Bloom and Rashad, the cast includes Christian Camargo (The Hurt Locker, Dexter), Justin Guarini (American Idol, American Idiot), Tony Award winners Brent Carver (Kiss of the Spider Woman, Sleepy Hollow), Chuck Cooper (Law & Order, American Gangster), and two-time nominee Jayne Houdyshell (Follies). Romeo and Juliet was captured for cinema on November 27 at New York's Richard Rodgers Theatre by the multiple, Emmy award-winning Don Roy King (Saturday Night Live).
