What I liked
There was never a dull moment…the writing was incredibly clever. I loved the way the script seamlessly incorporated iconic lines from Shakespeare and pop cultures references left and right. Freed took this clever, whacky script and pulled it straight into himself. His fast-paced laugh-out-loud performance was peppered with moments that were intimate and vulnerable…but never indulgent. He stayed ahead of the audience the whole time. I felt like I was on an awesome roller-coaster and could just sit back and enjoy the twists and turns!!
What I didn't like
That it ended…? It was fabulous…I can’t wait to see more of his work!!
My overall impression
First of all what a REMARKABLE performer. He delivers verse with skill and ease and breaks up the story with gymnastics, break dancing, singing, and spot on crowd work. He knows exactly how to reach a modern audience. I left feeling like I had just learned a massive chunk of history, but I never once felt as if I was being taught anything. Marcus J. Freed’s stunning physicality, dynamic voice, mixed with his never-ending supply of charisma makes this show one you DO NOT want to miss.
