Shakespeare - adapted and all, it was the bard and memorable. Good acting also. I appreciated taking away the book with the script, read in the airport and plane, worth it.

Even thought my seat wasn't the best for the type of play, I enjoyed every second of it. I was a bit bummed that Sir Ian mckellen wasn't performing but his understudy did a wonderful job! I also enjoyed the pick up service for the intermission snack

Ian McKellen was absolutely phenomenal as Falstaff, and Toheeb Jimoh was amazing as the prince. The entire show was so well executed.

Mckellen! He truly resonated in his part! Weren't allowed to take any photos? Very disappointed in that aspect. Still the play was memorable.

The outstanding performance was by Sir Ian Mckellan who is amazing for his age. We were disappointed by head out who when asked to change our booking time to another day with the same dollar cost and plenty of seat available at the time refused to do it for us.
