"True, I talk of dreams, which are the children of an idle brain, begot of nothing but vain fantasy..."
—Mercutio in Romeo + Juliet
Shakespeare’s timeless tale cinematically reimagined using live music performed by indie rock darlings and NPR music favorites The Family Crest. Somewhere between a rock concert and a classic Shakespearean play, Romeo + Juliet finds new life through enigmatic staging, engaging choreography and an emotionally expressive soundtrack. Treated as party guests, the audience is dropped into the middle of this sensational epic in an immersive night that feels like a music video come to life. creates an ideal recipe for a special event. gogetromeo.com
Buzz Center Stage Chicago, Ken Payne
"The production also injects its own modern twists and sense of humor into the play’s dialogue - crowd favorite Mercutio (wonderfully played by Kade Cox) donned in drag and sharp, whimsical musings often spewed from the mouth of Juliet."
