  We laughed and sighed our way through the performance on August 5, our first time attending Shady Shakespeare. If we had time we'd see it again.

  We saw the show last night and had a really good time. While the show started a little slow, it picked up speed and was a very enjoyable evening at the theatre. The set and costumes are amazing; both elements bring Moliere's work to life. Coupled with some talented, passionate performances and you have a very engaging show. Shady Shakespeare has done an excellent job with an original translation of the work set in 70's Glam Rock nirvana. You have one more chance to rock out with Shady Shakespeare, so don't be a square and make your way to the Historic Hoover Theatre tonight! Collapse
