What I liked

The cut of the show was perfect. Everything iconic was kept and every person in the cast was assigned at least one role. Doesn’t hurt that everyone is wicked talented.

What I didn't like

I would love if they had some tragedies in their lineup for fringe, but I believe it’s just comedies (from looking at their roulette wheel of choices). BUT the shows they do have lined-up will not disappoint!

My overall impression

This show is an absolute must-see for any lover of the Bard. The actors are all brilliant and do an incredible job of stepping into their last-minute role assignments. And the more absurd the assignments, the better! I saw a delightfully wacky version of 12th Night with some cross-gender casting that made me want to ONLY see it like that from now on!
