👀 Script Sneak Peek 👀

Romeo & Zooliet tells the story of animals inside the Saint Louis Zoo mounting their own production of Shakespeare’s Romeo & Juliet. In this animal-centered version, the Montagues are herbivores and the Capulets are carnivores.

So, of course, the script is packed with witty dialogue, animal puns and clever twists that are suitable for all ages!

🐊 Paris is the most unsuitable of suitors to Juliet. He’s a croc with only one thing on his mind...his next meal.

The crocodile puppet is long and looming. With powerful jaws and bulging eyes, Michael Curry Design has perfectly captured the look of a true predator.

🐼 Mercutio is Romeo’s ride or die (almost) literally. He’s rowdy and ready for a good time, even if he has to drag Romeo along for the fun—or trouble.

The Michael Curry Design team are creating a red panda puppet that can pounce and parry with the best of ‘em!

🦛 Our first Puppet Preview is for the character of Juliet’s Nurse. She’s a salty hippo who tells it like it is—in as many words as she needs to tell it!

For Nurse’s puppet, the Michael Curry Design team are creating a huge hippo with a large, animated mouth to yap with. Can you imagine this creature stomping around on stage?
