Also I had no idea what I was getting myself into with this one, but it is the best night of theater I've had in a while. It takes deft skill to be able to move effortlessly between true Shakespearean drama and inappropriate modern references, but all of the actors participating in the night made it all look easy. I was sober the whole time and am thankful for that because I didn't want to miss a moment. Laughed until I cried and was equally as swept up in the drama. Really fantastic.... Read more Read less

See it if you like improv and Shakespeare. Looking for a raucous good time

Don't see it if you don't like improv or audience participation. or Shakespeare.

Also I've seen this show about 4 times now. The first was certainly the best, as it is surprisingly repetitive for an improv show (from performance to performance, not within a single performance), but I still always thoroughly enjoy it. You do not have to drink to enjoy it, but they may encourage you to at certain points. It's a surprisingly great production of Macbeth and a fun evening of silliness and play. Great for a date night or girls night out.... Read more Read less

See it if You're into sophomoric drunkfest, after coming into Manhattan from a bridge or tunnel. Only redeeming quality is the venue, itself.

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.

Also I was very looking forward to this show (having heard it was hysterical) and was pretty underwhelmed -- and I don't underwhelm easily either. Having said that, there ARE some funny shticks and the mostly young audience seemed to be VERY entertained. The "drunk" actor was TERRIFIC and super funny - but that's about it.... Read more Read less
