What I liked
The irreverent inventiveness, the breakneck playful speed, and the tight execution of number after number on a stage smaller than a king-size bed… oh yeah, and the glorious costumes and makeup … and did I mention the delightful comic acting?
What I didn't like
This show could run for a year…
My overall impression
An elaborate, rambunctious romp through the fever dream that (supposedly) gave the Bard his plays … Full of horrible puns, it pops parody shots at a large portion of Shakespeare’s work, dashing through a daft plot that tangles up characters and tales, punctuated by dozens of remarkably well-staged musical numbers (almost all with disappearing dress) … Watch for top-line burlesque dancing, powerhouse singing, constant campy humor, love and sex in all their forms … and if you don’t fall in love with a fairy or a witch or a prince, you need a drink!
