[TIME100](https://time.com/collection/100-most-influential-people-2024/) Honoree Jack Antonoff is making his Broadway debut later this year. It was announced on April 16 that the famed music producer would be crafting the score for the modern adaptation of _Romeo + Juliet_, starring Rachel Zegler and Kit Connor. Antonoff tells TIME that he spoke with Florence Welch, who did the score for _Gatsby_ at the American Repertory Theater in Cambridge, Mass.

“She’s walking me through it,” he says, adding that Welch has given him “a lot of tips.” When asked about the specifics of the conversation, Antonoff said that “it’s private.” Tony-winning director Sam Gold, who will direct the Zegler and Connor-led _Romeo + Juliet_, is working with Antonoff on the sound for the new show. “\[Gold\] is so brilliant, and our conversations about what it could be are kind of wide open. We’re trying to find a sound that is somewhat bizarre and familiar,” Antonoff says.

The[ collaboration process is something that Antonoff is very familiar with](https://time.com/3506285/out-of-the-woods-taylor-swift-jack-antonoff/) given his long list of credits on multiple pop stars albums. From Lorde to Lana Del Rey, he’s “got something cooking,” but was not specific about who he’s working with next. He even joked about wanting to do classical music. When asked who he’d like to collaborate with next whom he hasn’t had a chance to, Antonoff says, “I never know if I like someone’s work, and that’s already in the past.” He urges that something is on the way.

Antonoff is just coming off two-weekend performances at Coachella with his band, Bleachers. The first-weekend set was visited by his long-time collaborator, Taylor Swift, and her boyfriend, Travis Kelce. Swift’s latest project, [_The Tortured Poets Department_](https://time.com/6969131/taylor-swift-jack-antonoff-tortured-poets-department/), was released last Friday. Anotonoff is credited as a producer on 16 songs and has a songwriting credit on 10.

The TIME100 Gala is TIME’s annual celebration of the TIME100 list of the world’s most influential people. The Gala brings together icons, leaders, change-makers, and celebrities from across industries and nations for one lively evening of meaningful dialogue and celebration. This year’s Gala features live performances from Dua Lipa and Fantasia Barrino, two honorees on the 2024 TIME100 list.

TIME is teaming up with ABC to bring viewers inside the exclusive TIME100 Gala with a special television event. _TIME100: The World’s Most Influential People_, produced in partnership with P&G, airs Sunday, May 12 at 10 p.m. EDT on ABC, and the next day on Hulu, featuring host Taraji P. Henson and appearances by Patrick Mahomes, Maya Rudolph, and more.

_The TIME100 Gala was presented by Booking.com, Citi, Merck, Northern Data Group, Glenfiddich Single Malt Scotch Whisky, and Verizon._

**Correction, April 26:** _The original version of this story misstated the name and theater of the Florence Welch-scored adaptation of_ The Great Gatsby. _The show is_ Gatsby_, not_ The Great Gatsby, _at the American Repertory Theater, not Repository._
