2025 Audience Reviews

Company: Katherine Warmka
Show: Romeo and Juliet: Lottery Style
Venue: Theatre in the Round

Amazing, Beautiful, and Captivating

-I've seen the show twice! The show being a lottery style where 4 of the actors don't know who they will be that day, makes the 2nd or 3rd viewing as interesting as the first time (if not more interesting). -Very easy to follow even if you are not familiar with Shakespeare's language. The actor's familiariarity with the words makes it easier for the audience to understand while still having the poetry and musicality that brings Shakespeare's stories to life. -The acting is phenomenal! The cast has their own interpretations of the characters which makes multiple viewings very interesting to watch. Even the cast member that only plays the Chorus and Capulet, his interpretation of the roles changed with the two performances I've seen. -This show is so beautiful, joyous, and tragic. You can tell the love the actors have for this story. The actors really bring the audience into the story with them (and if you are lucky, they literally bring you into the story, you'll have to see the show to understand what I mean hehe). You'll definitely leave the theater with a smile on your face and/or some tears in your eyes. -If you are a Shakespeare hater, I'd still highly recommend this show because I can almost 100% guarantee this show is not like any Shakespeare production you've seen.
