Tom Holland is celebrating a successful debut performance of his new play.
The actor, 27, shared a photo of himself posing with his Romeo & Juliet costar Francesca Amewudah-Rivers and their cast and crew on Instagram May 13 after the London-based production’s first preview performance.
“Tonight was the start of something so special. I’m beyond proud of our cast and crew who have gone above and beyond in every way,” the actor wrote.
“I can’t wait for the rest of the run. Tonight was truly a highlight of my career and I’m so glad I get to share it with these incredible people. Love you all and see you tomorrow!”
Holland previously shared an additional image of himself onstage with costars Amewudah-Rivers and Michael Balogun, whom the production credits as playing the Friar. “But, soft! What light… it’s preview night,” he wrote in a caption to that photo, referencing one of Romeo’s famous lines from the William Shakespeare play.
Holland first announced in February he would return to the stage for a limited run with Romeo & Juliet in London. The Spider-Man star started his acting career in a West End production of Billy Elliot The Musical in 2008 at age 12, years before he broke out as a movie star playing Peter Parker in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
“Tom Holland is one of the greatest, most exciting young actors in the world,” the production’s director Jamie Lloyd said in a statement shared by Playbill at the time. “It is an honor to welcome him back to the West End.”
The production’s opening comes just over a month after more than 800 actors signed an open letter condemning racist backlash against Amewudah-Rivers, who costars with Holland as Juliet.
The Jamie Lloyd Company, which is producing the play, released a statement April 5 decrying “deplorable racial abuse online directed towards a member of our company” after it released a full cast list.
“This must stop,” that statement, which did not name Amewudah-Rivers, read. “We are working with a remarkable group of artists. We insist that they are free to create work without facing online harassment.”
Holland’s Romeo & Juliet is running at the Duke of Yorks’ Theatre in London through Aug. 3. According to production’s website, the run is currently sold out.
