Danny Scheie was all that! Otherwise well staged and acted but dragged a bit overall

Loved the Cal Shakes production of this comedic masterpiece! Witty, sharp sayings from Beatrice and Benedick continue throughout, as well as lots of motion, dancing, and lively activities. Don John's the man you love to hate, and Dogberry's the over-the-top fool, while lovely Hero is a beautiful match to Claudio. Great performances from all, terrific open set with vertical layers that work well in different scenes, lovely costumes, and super instrumental musical interludes. Go see it to lift your spirits!

It was only the 2nd preview but it's a lovely production. The cast was very good Andy Murray as Benedict was particularly excellent as was Danny Scheie as Don John and Dogberry. He was very subtle as Don John and was able to go completely crazy as Dogberry. Nice inviting set as well.

The set and acting were beautiful. The actors who played Benedict and Beatrice were very charming. This is one of my favorite Shakespeare plays and the actors did it justice. We laughed so much and would recommend it to anyone.

BUNDLE UP! It was very cold so dress in layers and bring blankets, hats, scarves etc. The hot cocoa you can buy at intermission helps too.
