in Los Angeles presents “& Juliet: The Music of Max Martin and Friends,” a new pop-up exhibit celebrating songwriter and producer Max Martin. This exhibit explores how hits from his extensive catalog were reimagined for the hit musical & Juliet.

Timed to coincide with the touring production’s summer run at Center Theatre Group’s Ahmanson Theatre in Los Angeles (Aug. 13 – Sept. 7), the exhibit will open at the Grammy Museum on July 23 and remain on display through Oct. 27.

For more than 30 years, Martin and his collaborators have crafted dozens of hits for superstars including Ariana Grande, Backstreet Boys, Britney Spears, Kelly Clarkson and Katy Perry. Martin joined forces with a team of Broadway producers to re-envision his greatest hits for the stage. The result was & Juliet, a jukebox musical that flips the script on Romeo & Juliet and brings Martin’s music to life as a fresh, theatrical performance. The show features such signature Martin hits as “Since U Been Gone,” “Roar,” “I Want It That Way” and “Confident.”

& Juliet has played on four continents since its premiere on London’s West End in 2019. The Original Broadway Cast Recording was released in October 2022 on Atlantic Records. The show opened on Broadway on Nov. 17, 2022 and is still running at the Stephen Sondheim Theater. It received nine Tony nominations in 2023 but went 0-9 on the big night.

“I’m so thrilled that the Grammy Museum is highlighting & Juliet,” Martin said in a statement. “Working on & Juliet has truly been a highlight of my career, and I’m so glad LA residents will have a chance to check out the show that has brought so much joy to so many people, and at the same time visit the Grammy Museum to learn more about the songs and artifacts that inspired the score.”

“I hope our Grammy Museum visitors will walk away with a new appreciation for Martin’s pop music legacy and a better understanding of all the hard work that goes into creating a Broadway production,” added , curator at the Grammy Museum.

Exhibit highlights include:

Martin, 54, has won five Grammy Awards, including producer of the year, non-classical in 2015. He has received 25 Grammy nominations, including 19 in the three highest-profile categories: album, record and song of the year.
