What I liked

This show is beautifully acted, deftly paced, and undeniably clever. Nicole Knudsen and James Ferrero are a dream team as a pair of modernized Shakespearean characters, Benvolio (Benny) and Horatio (Ray) bonding over the absolute chaos of their respective dramas with extremely relatable takes that touch on the timelessness of the Bard’s works. The way these amazing artists weaved such a touching narrative makes this show a must-see!

What I didn't like

All I could suggest for improvements is somehow extending the run so more people can see this production!

My overall impression

Laugh, cry, and laugh again with iconic characters over pizza with a side of hard seltzer and Shakespeare. Do not miss this gem!
