Our first visit. Well done.

   It’s Shakespeare, it always needs some cutting. Performance was too long. Actress that played Beateice was outstanding, Benedick was sub par. “Margaret” did well with her bit part. Sets were awesome. Women’s costumes beautiful. Men’s costumes looked slopppy. Need an iron?

   We thoroughly enjoyed much ado!! The acting was fabulous, the set was fantastic, lighting and cues were exceptional. I felt as if I were seeing a professional Shakespearian acting troupe! What a treat and it’s in our backyard’! Congratulations on a play very well done and we look forward to seeing more!

   Sandy performance!

   We saw the production on Friday evening. The cast learned and executed their lines very well considering the prodigious amount of memorization. The choice of locating this play in New Orleans was interesting but not much effort was put into the reasoning for it. The women's costumes and the lighting were excellent. The unexpected dancing and singing gave bits of sparkle to the play. Beatrice's "Oh, would I were a man" speech was a true standout.

   great show

   I was dismayed that the villain Don John was played with a limp. This character trait seems to portray people with mobility/walking disabilities as evil. In the spirit of respect for disabilities I think Don John's limp should be eliminated. Other than that the play was outstanding. I thought the New Orleans twist would be a come down from Shakespearean dress and setting. But it was a brilliant adaptation. The dances and songs made Shakespeare much more accessible.

   This was such a great play!!!! The actors were fantastic!!! I loved to set too!!!!

     Was very enjoyable.

   The cast did a great job!
