10 out of 5 stars!! - What a fun time and experience! The entire time we were either smiling or laughing! It was a nice small venue, so you felt like you were part of the show. We can't wait to attend another one, or the same show, it was that entertaining. We will be back!

Best Date Night Ever, Love the Queen - This was arguably the best date night ever. The cast is kind, engaging, hilarious, and in a perfect flow with each other. The storyline was not lost despite every reason to get disarray lol I loved this and WE WILL be back with friends! Queen Jordan and King Jeryd

Don't walk, run to the next show! - My only disappointment is that I did not go see this sooner. It was hilarious and entertaining and I would see it again! Try the awesome cocktails, they don't disappoint either.

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………

Good show, poor bar service - Great show! Only downside....the cocktail service. The show was over half through when we finally got a drink. It was 105 degrees out I needed water. If they had a notehr server or 2 it'd be 5 stars

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.
