It was just "so so!", but just a teeny bit.

While we had a good time, the actors EACH were GREAT! However, our take-away feeling of the performance was (to us) somewhat like an overloaded Sat Night Live episode where we (too often) looked at one another to comment, "Huh? I didn't get that one either". Yeah, there were lots of laughs, but.... But, we won't do Drunk Shakespeare again. Nor recommend it to others. Sorry. Oh, the ordering process was dismal to the max. Needing to QRScan the seat's chair leg was overly troublesome! I get why you do that, but, really, why don't you just stick the QR, from an inkjet labels printed sheet onto the ticket when you hand over the ticket? Yeah, that's why we didn't order more'n the first two drinks. Yeah, this was a yech for me/us.

Playfully irreverent take on Shakespeare.

Small theater with spectator interaction. Creative and fun. Actors enjoy alcohol along with patrons. Drinks were good but $$.

Hilarious and engaging!

5 out of 5. Hilarious! A definite must see when in NYC. The actors are hilarious and engaging with the small audience. The drinks and service are wonderful as well.

Fabulous fun🤓

Hilarious! Had a wonderful time with my husband and we laughed so hard. We were upgraded to front row which was a riot. The actors were great. It was a good time for all. Drinks could be ordered through Toast with QR code and brought right to your seats. Small crowd, more intimate experience. We got 2 local beers and they gave everyone a shot before being seated. Highly recommend!

Fun, ribald comedy!

We attended a showing of Macbeth on April 21 at 6pm, and all the actors were, talented, quick-witted, and well versed in Shakespeare. Audience participation is encouraged-and the allusions were hilarious!

Unique and relatively inexpensive theater experience in NYC

This has long been on my bucket list and I’m glad we finally went! I liked how intimate the venue was. We were right up close with the actors. It’s a very simple premise – little costumes, props, etc. Just drunk actors and a great time! I do wish they stayed a bit closer to the source material, sometimes I thought the show was a bit random. But the audience was constantly cracking up and it was clear people were having a great time.
