Stage Directions Magazine writes, “The title character of Luigi Jannuzzi's comedy “For the Love of Juliet!” is an actress who hopes to snag the lead in a new Broadway production of Romeo and Juliet. Serious about her profession, she finds herself having to choose between her muse and a rekindled relationship with her ex boyfriend (and fellow actor), Alex. What makes Jannuzzi's comedy so engaging is that Juliet’s muse, aptly named Romeo, is played as a character only she can see or hear. As it turns out, Alex also has a muse-in-training named Ginger, who takes a shine to Romeo. Alex can't see Ginger or Romeo. Juliet can see everyone. Jannuzzi's point is not that an acting career and a rewarding love life are mutually exclusive, but that honesty of purpose is essential for success in either.”
