Lots of fun—especially when drinking - Acting was great. Drinks were strong. The comedy was funny. And, everyone on the state was very talented (singing, playing an instrument, drinking, etc.).

Why are you reading this review and not ordering your tickets?! - Shakespeare has never been so much fun! The cast is AMAZING! My husband and I went on a Tuesday, and then hubs went again a few days later with some buddies. How fantastic that it's never the same show twice! GO EXPERIENCE THIS! You will not be disappointed!
