Reviews for Drunk Shakespeare: One Actor. Five Shots. SHAKESPEARE!

Hysterical! A brilliant, talented cast, fun audience interaction and drinks! There's not a better time on a chilly night in NYC!

It was hilarious evening and incredibly fun. My wife was pulled up to dance with Romeo! We will definitely attend another show.

Fantastic! The cast members were great! I highly recommend @drunkshakespeare; look for it when you travel!

Always amazing. My favorite must-do when I come to NYC!!

Second time and just another written show. My family and I enjoyed every moment

Such a fun & cool show! You get a free sweet shot from entering. Be ready for some entertaining adult content. Be sure to bring ID.

Saw a hilarious performance of Romeo and Juliet. We had a great time and look forward to see many more shows there.

Absolutely brilliant and entertaining performance by a very skilled cast. I will be returning next time I'm in NYC.

Absolutely loved the show. Laughed till it hurt. Brilliant and talented actors. Will visit again.

First, the setting. Drunk Shakespeare is located in an intimate room set behind a bar, lined with book shelves all around (color-coded for artistic visual effect, definitely not practical for finding a book of interest). There are at most seats for 60 people, lined in a full circle around a small, oblong stage in the middle. The bar was quaint but had top-shelf cocktails on menu and afforded all the opportunity to order drinks for delivery to each seat (how convenient is that?!). My companion got the Juliette and I got two Friars. What to say about the performance? All 90 minutes was brilliant! The actors were experts at making the audience comfortable and playing with the Shakespearean script seamlessly to their benefit for effective and hilarious improvisation. We had plenty of laughs and by the time the show was concluding, we also felt invested in the character's well-being. Wonderful entertainment, highly recommend. Only recommendation for improvement might be if the theater can implement some tables between the occasional chair - drinks had to be balanced in hand or on the ground (a precarious location given the actors and close proximity to other patrons).

If I could give this show more than 5 stars, I would! It was absolutely hilarious from start to finish. Our group of 8 had a blast and everyone left saying the same thing—what an amazing night! The drinks were on point, and if you love laughing and having fun, this is the place to be. Pro tip: come ready to bid for the chance to be king or queen of the show for an unforgettable experience! - King David

Without a doubt, on the most fun nights I’ve had in my 46 years on this planet. Every single member of the cast gave off such great energy it was impossible not to smile like an idiot for 90 straight minutes. I need to go back as much as possible.

This was my second visit to Drunk Shakespeare. The talent of the performers just amazes me! Sing, dance, comedy AND incredible knowledge of Shakespeare! Audience participation adds to the fun of the experience. Thanks for sharing your talent with us!

Amazing performance - even the drunk actor did a superb job. And they pulled me up to help settle a challenge! I laughed, I swooned, and I certainly drank - including my reward for helping with the challenge. A very pleasant, intimately space, and the actors make great use of it. SIT NEXT TO ROYALTY, if given the chance!

I had an amazing time at the show! From beginning to end, pure entertainment. The cast did a fabulous job with their acting and keeping the audience engaged. The unique interpretations, adlibs, music choice, costumes, audience interactions, and stage setup made for a perfect show. I recommend it 100%!
