Watch on Soap2day. A French musical by Gérard Presgurvic, created in 2001 at the Palais des Congrès in Paris and inspired by William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. The musical was released at the same time as three other creations (Da Vinci, Les Ailes de la lumière, Les Mille et Une Vies d'Ali Baba, and Les Dix Commandements), following the great success of Notre Dame de Paris the previous year.
