MacBeth but make it funny - My boyfriend surprised me for Christmas with this fun show. We didn't wait that long on line. The staff were friendly and funny. The space was clean. The main room reminded me of the restaurant Jekyll and Hyde up on 57th Street because of all the old library books around the room. The members of the cast were funny and strong performers. Their improv was great. We saw Macbeth and I would love to return to see a different show. The drink given to us upon entering the main room was alright. I don't like the taste of alcohol but my boyfriend enjoyed the drinks. They did seem a bit on the small side for what was paid but inflation. Lol. I recommended this event to friends and I hope to return.

Mac B is the man. - The performance was amazing. A great blend of script and improv. Loved every second of it. It wasn’t too long, wasn’t too short. It felt like we were in a secret place doing secret things. The drinks were good and the service to bring them to us was top notch. Very easy to pay out, too which took a minor stressor out of my mind that remained from a show that makes you forget.

A great way to spend a solo evening! - An amazing time! If you're debating whether you should go or not, just go! It will be worth it. I was on a solo trip to NYC and had an empty evening to fill. I bought a ticket day-of and am so glad I did. The 'balcony' seats were perfect for an introvert like me. I was able to clearly see everything happening but not be roped into involvement (sit on the lower two sections if that's your thing!). There are no bad seats in this small intimate theater. QR code ordering makes getting drinks easy during the show. The 90 minutes flies by too quickly. I could easily have watched another hour or two of the cast's shenanigans!

Very funny and entertaining. - Excellent performances by all cast members. Shakespeare, sketch comedy, and improv all rolled into one great show. Hilarious and witty. They do a fantastic job getting the audience involved. Would definitely see again.

Shakespeare would endorse this! - Great time. Especially if you like to see semi drunk people fool around! The actors are awesome. Know their lines even under influence. Recommend!
