Absorbing, Delightful, Great music, Great acting, Hilarious

See it if you like great music, casually diverse casting, and many moments of superb physical acting, both subtle and quite obvious

Don't see it if you like to see this show staged as an orgy (there are a few sexy jokes, but it's very light overall) Read more

Delightful, Entertaining, Great acting, Hilarious, Must see

See it if You like Shakespeare done in a more contemporary fashion with double entendres and staging that are current with today.

Don't see it if You have a problem with a different take on the Bard's intent.

Clever, Hilarious, Refreshing, Must see, Delightful

See it if you love exquisite costume design or haven't had a good laugh in a while. See it even if you're not a "Shakespeare person!"

Don't see it if You prefer costumes more traditional of the time the play was written.
