Great late night activity - Very fun experience. We loved it. The actors did an excellent job. Would plan to eat before hand as food was mostly just snacks

Enjoyable way to spend an evening! - What a great, talented group of individuals who are so passionate about what they do and also truly know how to have a good time! Not a bad seat in the house, drink service at your seat was a pleasant surprise, and I thought the ticket price was incredibly fair for the experience delivered. Lots of laughs shared in a comfortable environment! I would definitely recommend this to someone and will plan to keep an eye out for new acts coming.

Fun and funny! - This was super-fun! The staff was very talented and we were laughing the whole time. I was an English major and my husband is not literary but we both enjoyed it so much.

"Come, gentlemen, I hope we shall drink down all unkindness” - The Merry Wives of Windsor: Act 1, Scene 1 - My wife and I took a chance of seeing this zany, hilarious sounding live improv performance of Romeo & Juliet on its last weekend. Heck, even the website's description of the play is funny. And yes, you have to be 21 to enter. The play, albeit a bit too graphic and lewd at times, was astoundingly funny. The service was great. We ordered two glasses of wine each and they were promptly delivered in concert with the play. There is also plenty of opportunities for audience participation. The theater is very small, which makes the performance much more intimate. This is important as the topics and the props are for rather intimate moments. I look forward to seeing Drunk Pirates, the next show to be seen at the Rose Theatre. Just remember what happens behind the red door, stays behind the red door!

Drunk Romeo & Juliet are not Drunk Pirates good but disappointed. - The show is really funny. But it was advertised as Drunk Pirates and it ended up being Drunk Romeo & Juliet. So double check. We already saw Romeo & Juliet and were looking forward to Drunk Pirates. It was a birthday gift to 2 friends and we waited 6 weeks after their birthday to specifically get Drunk Pirates. They liked it but I’m still disappointed.

Poor management - The actors and script were great. A couple paid to be king and queen but were cut off and giving a warning by the manager when they tried to participate. It was unnecessary and unprofessional so we did not tip and will not be recommending it moving forward.
