great show - This is a very funny show based on the Shakespeare plays. It was very well done audience participation is encouraged. This is an adult show with some very adult themes. If you love to laugh you will love this show. King Rick and queen Darciann

Best date night fun! - I wasn’t sure what to expect and I certainly had no idea how much fun I was going to have! This group of talented actors had me laughing so hard that I was wheezing, and that was before the show even officially started! This show is raunchy, racy, and hysterically funny! I have seen Romeo and Juliet twice in 2 weeks and it was worth it! You better love the F word and plan to have a good time. This show is if improve and Shakespeare had a baby, all while keeping a drunk actor on script and wrapping up the show in 90 minutes. I can’t wait for the next play that they do. I will definitely go see them do their thing.

The most entertaining show I’ve seen! - I wasn’t sure what to expect but I am so glad I gave the show a chance! Entertaining, engaging, hilarious, spontaneous, and easily the best show I’ve seen in a while. The actors each had their own flavor and style which combined into a great performance. Humor was a bit raunchy at times so if that is offensive, the show wouldn’t be for you. Everything was so fast paced that it was over before I was ready to go!

Entertaining silliness - The show and actors were awesome, even the drunk one! Lots of laughs to be had! We did the royal experience and enjoyed it. Not sure it was worth the money though, but never the less we had a great time! My only complaint was the weird limit they put on consuming alcohol. With royalty you get a complimentary cocktail and a bottle of champagne split between 2 people. When I ordered the flight of whisky they said they had to take away the champagne bottle but would give it to us after the show? We quickly finished bottle anyway. When my fight arrived it was four 1/2 oz pours……lame! I noticed another patron order at least 5 whisky’s on the rocks, so what gives……….i am assuming this is an Arizona thing so that is that………

Some good, some bd - It was very good, hilarious. Getting tickets was not a fun time. There was no address, I had to track that down myself. The email said I could download to my mobile which I could not. The QR code at the ply was malfunctioning, took me to another page to enroll and I was charged $59.95, luckily my card company declined the charge.

A Disappointment - After seeing the great reviews, we anticipated a rousing, fun and slightly rowdy evening. We were sorely disappointed. Years ago we'd seen a take on Shakespeare plays woven into one abridged version that was uproariously funny and we anticipated something along that line. What we saw was more of a high school repertoire of aspiring actors practicing Shakespearean soliliques while tossing in tons of various mostly gay sexual innuendos and sophomoric humor, including a hand-held puppet and characters from such programs as Sesame Street singing songs about killing children and pools of blood. We failed to find the humor in much of the 90 minutes and were looking around to see if others were laughing out of entertainment or politeness, the latter of which we tried to muster up....with great effort. Drinking is encouraged, perhaps do lots prior to the performance.
