"The Shakespearean Jazz Show" is a wildly entertaining and one of a kind evening that re-contextualizes Shakespeare's work in an unexpectedly magical and wholly engaging way.

The show masterfully marries the words of the bard with the beats of jazz, combining upbeat and exuberant music with the timeless text.
