I've memorized some monster sets of lines from Shakespeare myself, so I understand how daunting it feels. I have always written my lines out longhand. I find that the muscle memory actually helps with my line recall. I'd take it 2-4 lines at a time until you feel comfortable with them, then add lines 5-8 and so forth. Everytime you complete a section of lines run through them and then keep adding. It sounds like it takes a lot longer than it does. Also, rely on the imagery and rhyme schemes, it's very helpful. Good luck!

rent the video and act along with capulet. keep rewinding the part. turn the sound down when it gets easier.

Sometimes singing the words to a song you dig can help your mind retain the information.
