Rachel wore jewelry by Sophie Bille Brahe and Melissa Kaye, whom Tooley credited in an Instagram post.

She captioned several behind-the-scenes snapshots of the star, ‘Happy opening night to our Juliet!!! @rachelzegler we love you to the moon and the sun and the stars! Congratulations on this amazing achievement!!! BROADWAY BABY!!’

In August it was announced that the play received a four-week extension amid high demand.

The show was initially slated to run through January 2025, but dates were added through February 16. 

The Shakespeare classic kicked off on Broadway with preview performances on September 26.

Tommy Dorfman, who is also part of the cast, turned heads in a draped, sheer, black dress on opening night. 

The 32-year-old entertainer wore her short, blonde, bob haircut was parted down the middle and tucked behind her ears.

Rachel and Kit initially got fans excited about their upcoming show back in April when they posted the respective letters R and J on their social media pages.

Connor posted the letter R, while Zegler posted the letter J, with interlocking halves of an addition sign on their posts.

Both geotagged the posts as Verona, the location of the Shakespearean story.

A trailer was then released in May, showing a spin on the timeless production that sees the two lead stars in modern day suburbia.
