Excellent production filled with energy
Excellent production filled with energy and emotion. The actors really bring the text to life, and I particularly enjoyed the casting and cut of the show (esp. Lady Capulet's role). The time flew by, as the pacing was impeccable. I particularly enjoyed the Nurse's performance, as well as the fiery Mercutio. The two leads, R&J, were also a captivating pair that demonstrated great understanding of the text. Highly recommend!
Run, don’t walk, to see this show!
Do not miss this show! I’ve never felt so invested in a production of Romeo and Juliet! The star-crossed lovers (Chris Bert and Mickey Tron) are fantastic, and there is beautiful work across the board - Mercutio (Lauren Zbylski) steals every scene she’s in, Lady Capulet (Aurea Tomeski) is a force to be reckoned with, and Jeorge Bennett Watson’s Friar Laurence is the man you want on your side. Run, don’t walk!
Fabulous show!!
I thought this was a wonderful production of Romeo and Juliet! The performances were some of the best I’ve seen, very moving. The pace of the show was nonstop, my boyfriend (who is not a theater person) thoroughly enjoyed the show too and didn’t get bored once! We had a great time.

Lots of fun! Highly recommend
MAD Company brought energy (lots!), passion, humor, & inventiveness to the classic love story! Between a bawdy, physically active female Mercutio to an appropriately angsty, youthfully love-blind rendering of Romeo & Juliet to a deep voiced, pacifying Friar, the casting was great. The tempo was also relentless, without a dull moment. Highly recommend this one!
A fun take on a classic
I recommend seeing this! The cast brought the text to life; despite not being well-versed in Shakespeare I was able to follow along well and even understand the jokes. The set design, lighting, sound design, costumes and rest of the production were all thoughtful and well-done, especially considering it was a smaller production and the company's first show. The ticket price is excellent value for the quality of the performance!
