Emmy & Golden Globe Award-nominated actress and singer Chrissy Metz will make her Broadway debut in & Juliet! Metz will star as ‘Angelique’ for a limited engagement, beginning Thursday, June 18 through September 13, 2026. Perhaps best known for her role as ‘Kate Pearson’ in the beloved NBC TV show “This Is Us,” Metz made her New York stage debut in a benefit reading of Neil LaBute’s Fat Pig for MCC in 2017.
“I’m so excited to be making my Broadway debut, and to do it in a show that is this joyful feels like an absolute dream come true,” Metz said. “I think some of the hardest working, most creative people work in live theater and well, Broadway scares me to bits, which is why I have always wanted to do it. Pray for me!”
Tony Award nominee Jeannette Bayardelle will play her final performance as ‘Angelique’ on June 14, 2026.
