The new production of Shakespeare's classic love story stars Orlando Bloom and Condola Rashad. 

The play may be a tragedy, but the opening night of Romeo and Juliet on Broadway was no somber affair. The production stars stage and silver-screen favorites Condola Rashad and Orlando Bloom, and their celebrity friends and family hit the red carpet in force. TheaterMania was there to hear a Shakespearean soliloquy from Harvey Fierstein, find out which celebs believe in love at first sight (hint: most of them), and get some dating advice from Ian McKellen.
