‘He Loves Musicals’: Blake Lively Surprises Ryan Reynolds For 48th Birthday With Tickets To THIS Broadway Show

As a devoted fan who has watched every single scene of Blake Lively’s career, I can confidently say that her latest act of love for Ryan Reynolds on his 48th birthday is nothing short of extraordinary! Taking him and their three adorable kids to see & Juliet on Broadway was not just a thoughtful gesture, but a testament to their shared passion for the arts.


On his 48th birthday, which fell on October 23rd, Blake Lively expressed her affection for Ryan Reynolds by treating him and their three kids to a Broadway show. The family, as reported by People, enjoyed the Tony-nominated musical “& Juliet” during the Deadpool star’s special day.

The outing was initiated by Lively herself, as a source present at the Stephen Sondheim Theater in NYC reported to the media outlet. This insider revealed that when Rachel Bilson’s character from “The It Ends With Us” conversed with the show’s cast backstage, she seemed puzzled about finding an appropriate gift for her well-endowed companion. However, the moment the idea of taking him to Broadway crossed her mind, it struck her as a perfect fit. “I believe he adores musicals; I adore musicals; our kids love musicals too,” she apparently shared with the cast members, indicating it was an intuitive choice.

In this creative reinterpretation, Juliet, the well-known yet tragic Shakespearean heroine, envisions what her life might look like if she were given a second chance – not just to live, but also to experience love anew. The book for this musical was penned by David West Read, who is renowned for his Emmy-winning work on Schitt’s Creek.

As a die-hard fan, I can’t help but be enthralled by the electrifying Broadway production that weaves together a symphony of hit pop songs from the illustrious catalog of five-time Grammy winner, Max Martin. In this musical journey, you’ll find yourself humming along to timeless classics like Baby One More Time by Britney Spears, Since U Been Gone by Kelly Clarkson, Can’t Stop the Feeling by Justin Timberlake, Teenage Dream by Katy Perry, and I Want It That Way by the Backstreet Boys, just to name a few. This unforgettable experience is not to be missed!

37-year-old Lively found the selection of songs for Romeo and Juliet quite captivating, according to the reference. Additionally, she was surprised at how skillfully crafted the production was. She conveyed to the cast that her children were even more enthralled than herself, expressing a desire to return tomorrow and every day after that.

The confidant revealed that despite Reynolds and Lively’s initial intention to make a discreet exit following the performance, they were so taken aback by the show’s quality that they couldn’t help but express their appreciation to the entire cast, which includes key members Ben Jackson Walker, Drew Gehling, Maya Boyd, Tiernan Tunnicliffe, Paulo Szot, Philippe Arroyo, and Justin David Sullivan.
