Much Ado About Nothing: A Musical
A Musical Much Ado About Nothing is modern in every way: modern language, modern music, modern dance, and yet it follows the plot of Shakespeare’s original play very faithfully. At its heart, this is a romantic comedy that also includes clever puns, sparkling wordplay, and just a hint of Shakespearean bawdiness sprinkled with some of his funniest insults. A funny, fast-paced night of music, dance, and Shakespeare’s incomparable brand of “Ado”!
