The name of the musical is & JULIET Her Musical

And the plot is that Juliet didn't kill herself and live her life without Romeo.
This vital new musical sees Juliet getting over Romeo by running off to Paris with Nurse and her best friends on a whirlwind trip of romance and self-discovery.
Miriam-Teak Lee is Juliet.

Some citations from Oops! He did it again... songwriter Max Martin pens a song for & Juliet (https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-6784665/BAZ-BAMIGBOYE-Oops-did-songwriter-Max-Martin-pens-songs-Juliet-stage-show.html)
QuoteMartin travelled from New York, where he's been producing The Weeknd's new album.
Writer David West Read came up with the plot after a meeting with Martin. 'I gave David a list of songs and said: "Try to make sense of these",' Martin recalled.
'A song you might have heard as one thing is now used in a completely different context,' the usually low-profile Martin said.
'This show is a way to make the songs come alive again,' Martin said. 'Some are 20 years old. These songs are like babies, and it's like my babies grew up and got into college.'
Martin said it had been on his mind, and his wife's, for ten years to use his songs (he kept stressing that he didn't write them alone and praised his many collaborators).
One goal was to have a strong story that held up the songs as if they were written specifically for it.
'They had to seem organic,' he told me, agreeing that he didn't want a story that went, 'then this happened, then we wrote this song'.
'I'm not a musical buff,' he added, 'but what I do love about it is the instant reaction. I spend months in the studio working on these things, and it might come out a year later.
'It's like — comparing it to sport — if you score a goal, you get the instant satisfaction. This is music in its purest form.
'You get a reaction right away and there's something primal about that. I'm realising what a powerful art form the musical is.'
'And they show up on time. I'm not used to that!' Martin told me, observing that when recording an album, rockers don't always hold punctuality in high esteem.

I am a bit disappointed that Max is popping a snus
Haha why? :D
This musical is getting big promotion.

Max has produced all songs with Bill Sherman.
I'm bothered about the musical title and every interpretation on the record. The originals are just too good. Sorry for being so narrow-minded.

Well, I saw &Juliet 2 weeks ago and this is absolutely wonderful! I had such a great time that night, everything was stunning. The rhythm is really fast, you have no time to get bored, the cast is so talented, great singers, great actors, so much energy. I was crying several times at how amazing it was, all my favorite songs put together in almost 2 hours of show, it seemed too good to be true. It was like a dream really, and so many beautiful pannels, colors, humour.... and to top it all, most importantly, the covers really pay tribute to the original songs. You can hear Max is behind the production, the songs do not lose their appeal and catchiness at all! Actually, there are even some like It's my life whose production is better than the original. I advise you go to the show if you have the opportunity, any Max music fan will absolutely LOVE it! Now I really gotta go there again at least one more time!

There was a huge material on the musical's premiere in New York Times and we slept on it:
Max Martin, Pop's Low-Key Mastermind, Takes Center Stage (Sort Of): the Swedish songwriter is reluctantly emerging for "& Juliet," a new Broadway show built on his music (https://www.nytimes.com/2022/11/11/arts/music/max-martin-and-juliet.html)
It says Dr. Luke is on its creative team. And none of Taylor Swift songs are included.
And many other things and photos.
I suppose the musical is the reason we don't hear much new songs from him last years.
&Juliet debuted yesterday on Broadway, Stephen Sondheim Theatre. Tickets from $69.
