Kit Connor & Rachel Zegler's Broadway debut in Romeo + Juliet had the cast & audience in TEARS

But what fans of the two ultimately focused on the most was an endearing video of the cast taking their bows at the end of the inaugural performance. The crowd can be seen standing and cheering as the two hug. And even at a distance, it's clear they got emotional as each took center stage.

"The youth are f**ked," reads the official description of director Sam Gold's Romeo + Juliet, per Playbill. "Left to their own devices in their parents’ world of violent ends, an impulsive pair of star-crossed lovers hurtle towards their inescapable fate. The intoxicating high of passion quickly descends into a brutal chaos that can only end one way."

The cast is rounded out by Tommy Dorfman, Gabby Beans, Nihar Duvvuri, Sola Fadiran, Daniel Bravo Hernández, Taheen Modak, Jasai Chase-Owens, and Gían Pérez, with music by Jack Antonoff.
