Summary: Honestly, I'm quite upset. I live in Boston and came to Phoenix on vacation with my husband. I have no idea when we will be back. We had such a fantastic time, we are contemplating another Phoenix vacation just to see Drunken Shakespeare again. That's how amazing the show is. I'm so upset I have to wait to watch another show. 10/10 would do it again and again and again. Btw add in some more shots, let us be two fisted! 🤣😄
