Romeo & Juliet cast sport red pins for Gaza

The opening night for the new Broadway cast of Romeo & Juliet saw a glamorous debut with all the stars decked in classy attire. The production, which is led by Kit Connor as Romeo and Rachel Zegler as Juliet, marked its official run on October 24, as per People.

However, fashion wasn't the only category that made statements at the event. A significant number of cast members attended with an Artists4Ceasefire badge pinned to their clothing. Aside from the mentioned leads, others wearing the red pin included Jasai Chase-Owens, Daniel Bravo Hernández, and Nihar Duvvuri.

The symbol stands as a sign of protest, urging the president of the US to call for the cessation of the rampant genocide in Gaza. The pin has served as a gesture of goodwill, with wearers hoping for peace in the affected territories.

Other celebrities who have sported both, the pin and the sentiment include Mark Ruffalo, who recently cited humanitarian laws to denounce the military aid provided to Israel by the US, and Nicola Coughlan, who backed former Irish president Mary Robinson's "truth to power" letter.
