Shakespeare started writing plays around 1590, at which time he was hawking them to anyone who would buy them. Lord Pembroke's Men and Lord Sussex's apparently mounted Titus Andronicus and Henry VI Part 2 at the Rose, and Lord Strange's Men may have performed Titus at The Theatre. After the formation of the Lord Chamberlain's Men, Shakespeare wrote exclusively for that group which played in The Theatre (1594-1596), The Curtain (1596-1599) The first Globe (1599-1613), the Blackfriars (1608-1613), and the second Globe (1613). Shakespeare retired in 1613 so no new plays of his were performed after that date. However, the old ones have been played in many many theatres (well, to be honest, in almost all the theatres in the world), some of the most famous of which are The Drury Lane Theatre, The Covent Garden Theatre, The Old Vic, The Royal Shakespeare Theatre, Stratford UK, the Festival Theatre, Stratford Canada, the National Theatre, and the Lunt-Fontanne Theater, Broadway, New York, as well as the rebuilt Globe Theatre in London which opened in 1996.
You are probably talking about the 1968 movie, directed by Franco Zeffirei. Leonard Whiting played the role as Romeo. Olivia Hussey played the role of Juliet.
Romeo and Juliet is just a fictional play...but the actors who played them for the first time were guys.
Leonardo diCaprio, who starred in the movie Titanic, also played Romeo in a film version of Romeo and Juliet (1996).
Boys whose voices were not yet broken played younger women. Adult men sometimes played older women (like the Nurse in Romeo and Juliet).

Claire Danes played the part of Juliet.
There is no reference to theatre-goers of any kind in Romeo and Juliet. There is in Hamlet, though: they are called "groundlings"

The globe theater was Shakespeare's theater. Plays like Romeo and Juliet and Hamlet were peformed there.
Considering the fact that this play was written in Elizabethan times, has been performed countless times, and has been adapted to radio drama, movies and tv, the question is literally impossible to answer with a one-name type answer like George C. Scott in the title role of (Patton),. I would estimate hundreds of actors have played Romeo over the centuries- just limiting it to professional productions including movies and TV.

There are many venues that are hosting the ballet of Romeo and Juliet. The Auditorium Theater in Chicago, Illinois will host this performance many times next year.
