Funny, Raunchy, Impressive, Fun

See it if You love Shakespeare in any form, the athleticism of performing Shakespeare while astonishingly drunk, or the hilarious antics of improv.

Don't see it if You find the bastardization of the immortal Bard offensive. Of if you find offensive humor offensive.

Overrated, Edgy, Great acting, Funny, Entertaining

See it if Not an improv show, but one that has been done so long w/ the same people that it gives the appearance of being made up on the spot. Cheers!

Don't see it if Don't C if U don't like the F-word or being forced to shout it yerself. Not for Shakespeare purists either, the bard's words R-just-a-guide.

Clever, Funny, Disappointing, Overrated

See it if find a lot of manic acting and some sophomoric antics entertaining and hilarious - and you are familiar with Macbeth.

Don't see it if you're not interested in a manic, somewhat confusing show (and I don't confuse easily). Not nearly as funny as I thought it would be. Read more

Funny, Fluffy, Indulgent, Raunchy, Quirky

See it if You want some serious fun! Would have scored it higher if the pun wasn't calling my name.

Don't see it if Not a family show nor is it Shakespeare in the typical sense. Modern reinvention for sure! Also not fun if you don't like libations.

Funny, Entertaining, Ambitious, Engaging, Interactive

See it if you're in a mood to have a silly fun time w/ friends? or maybe by yourself wanting to kill boredom? - Laughter is still the best medicine !

Don't see it if you are clueless of any Shakesperean work (particularly Macbeth-the one I saw -not sure if they use same play all the time but i think so). Read more

Funny, Intense, Entertaining

See it if you're a fan of audience-participation, you like Shakespeare, and you like improv comedy

Don't see it if you're looking for traditional Shakespeare, you're are looking for a night to sit back and relax, or if you're under 21 [it's 21+ only]
