What I liked

Wit, humor, and heart.

What I didn't like

If Romeo had waited five more minutes.

My overall impression

Nicole and James are total class acts! What a duo. The show was both laugh-out-loud funny AND heart-wrenching, with plot points and zingers that will make Shakespeare fans hoot and holler. The show felt like if the TV show “Friends” was set in the world of Shakespeare stories, mixed with deeply dramatic themes. James was the perfect witty charmer! Nicole nailed the balancing act of both humor and heart, and I believed every word that came out of her mouth about her friends “Ro” and “Juliet”. Must-see for Shakespeare heads!
