SHAKESLESQUE (To Thine Own Cherry Be True)

The show so nice I saw it twice! From the moment the show started I was taken on a very unexpected journey. I even enjoyed it sober. The amount of talent on stage at any given time is staggering and this might be the best show this team has ever produced. From every moment to its next, you feel like that might have been the best part of the show, but it just keeps building. Absurd. The humor is riotous and everyone is incredibly attractive. Specifically Michael Shaw Fisher, the fiend who puts the SEX in Sexspeare. That guy is hilarious. All in all, the bacchanalian revelry and dangerous level of talent sets a new precedent for live entertainment.... full review

Sprawling, fantastic mashup of Shakespeare and seminal rock n roll performed in a bawdy cabaret of lustful fun. ... full review

The most fun I have had at the Fringe - maybe even in my life. Smart, witty, sexy (sooooo sexy) and hilarious. These performers dance, sing and act with aplomb. Complicated dance numbers - especially on such a small stage - are performed with precision and grace. This show just blew me away. Flawless. And just when you think it can't get any better, it does. ... full review

I have never been to a burlesque performance and came to the show for a date night with my husband. The cast, crew and talent blew us away!! The story was compelling, the choreography was sultry and the talent was above all expectations. I would suggest this show to anyone!! In fact we would come back again if we could! Well done. We laughed our asses off. ... full review

An elaborate, rambunctious romp through the fever dream that (supposedly) gave the Bard his plays ... Full of horrible puns, it pops parody shots at a large portion of Shakespeare's work, dashing through a daft plot that tangles up characters and tales, punctuated by dozens of remarkably well-staged musical numbers (almost all with disappearing dress) ... Watch for top-line burlesque dancing, powerhouse singing, constant campy humor, love and sex in all their forms ... and if you don't fall in love with a fairy or a witch or a prince, you need a drink!... full review
