The familiar story we all know and love meets the beloved childhood book series. ROMEOANDJULIET: CHOOSEYOUROWNENDING asks “What if Romeo had made different choices?”
At three times during the play Romeo asks the audience to vote to determine his next move among two options. Thus, the play has eight different endings, six of which are comedies and two of which end tragically (including the original plot).
With a Python-esque ridiculousness, the play careens between extraordinarily broad humor — growling, screaming, prolonged death scenes — and subtle jabs at the silliness of the original play and at the intense hysterics to which actors will go to make the familiar speeches of ROMEOANDJULIET seem new.
