Summary: I LOVED this show. Very small “stage” with 3 rows of seats - Stage, Mezzanine, and Balcony 😂 The actors were amazingly clever and funny! I would highly recommend!!

Summary: AMAZING!!! So so funny. Artists CLEARLY know their Shakespeare, which is so impressive considering they weave in pop culture references that everyone knows without missing a beat. Our “king” was a bit obnoxious and drunk, but the artists handled it beautifully, the staff navigating the situation quietly and perfectly. Overall, great time! Purchased cheaper ‘balcony’ tix but still got ‘mezzanine.’ Super funny, for all ages (everyone from the older people to my group, early 20s, was clapping and hollering.)
