Critics Reviews

“It offers considerably more fun than many Shakespeare productions, worth experiencing not to watch an actor get drunk, but to watch a cast juggle so many balls so adroitly.”
– The New York Times

“The buzzy performance is a mix of faithful deliveries of the Bard’s powerful lines and contemporary pop culture references. The result is a show that successfully makes a rich, heavy play accessible, while retaining the air — and language — of the originally version.”
– The Huffington Post

No one told me that there will be alcohol served during the show! I don’t drink and I felt rather left out throughout the time. No doubt the play was a laughter riot but you may only enjoy it if you’re okay with gulping down a shot with your friends at the beginning. Sober people should get their own disclaimer!

The concept of performing a Shakespearean play drunk was captivating, and so we decided to make it a point to watch this during our New York trip. Don’t expect fancy props and beautiful effects. The simple (NOT sober) play takes you through hilarious shenanigans. The play is different every time and so we can’t wait to visit again. Had so much fun!!

Drunk Shakespeare is only for those who like booze and comedy — with several light moments on a Shakespearean play. Lucky for me, I love all of these. You’re welcomed with a zesty tequila on entering! The audience being limited definitely helps.. all in all an experience we will remember for the longest time to come.

At first I was only amused at the fact that the actors were performing drunk, but then what shocked me was the array of free flowing food and drinks that were served to us as well. There’s no harm in getting a little tipsy once in a while! Let your hair down and enjoy with the actors, because this will be one of the funnest experience you will have in a while.

First thing first, the actors deserve an applause for being so good at the play despite being six shots down. Second of all, it was great to receive tickets by hand outside the venue. I had my doubts and was definitely worried about missing the show incase of any technical difficulty, but turned out quite a smooth process. Brilliant move, Headout. I’m for sure considering you the next time I’m looking for a Broadway experience as good as this.
