Romeo and Zooliet
*The event has already taken place on this date: Sun, 08/17/2025
Have you ever wondered what happens when the Zoo closes and the keepers go home for the night?
Well ... what if the animals put on their very own Shakespearean performance?!
"Romeo & Zooliet" is a family-friendly stage adaptation produced exclusively for the Saint Louis Zoo, in partnership with the St. Louis Shakespeare Festival. The production features dazzling animal puppetry by world-renowned Michael Curry Design, known for its work on Broadway’s "The Lion King" and "Frozen" along with Olympic and Super Bowl ceremonies.

How the Story Unfolds
“Romeo and Zooliet” tells the story of animals inside the Saint Louis Zoo mounting their own production of Shakespeare’s “Romeo and Juliet.” In this animal-centered version, the Montagues are herbivores and the Capulets are carnivores. Can Romeo, a prairie dog, and Juliet, a grizzly bear, cross the biological divide and become best friends?
