    The most chaotic, hilarious and interactive show!! The cast was great and funny, they re-enacted Macbeth but every night is different. Absolutely worth it!!

    If you want something fun to do in the evening, I would recommend this place. Make sure you check Groupon to get a great deal on the seats. This place is pretty small and the seats are great at any location. The location was hard to find off goggle maps, but look for the taco bell and you will see the sign where you need to line up. The bouncer will check your ID and then the guy at the bar will officially check you in. Make sure you use the restroom before the show starts because you definitely do not want to get up once the show starts. Once you enter the venue, the 1st thing they hand you is a shot!! Someone will guide you to your seats. You have a small area under your seats that you can place your belongings and a QR code to order your drinks. I was alone and still enjoyed the show!! If you go as a group, it will be so much fun. They auction off seats to be the king and queen. That was totally fun to watch them do. They were part of the show, got to sit in the thrones, bottle of champagne, cavier, and chocolates. You don't even have to like Shakespeare to enjoy the show. Everyone was fantastic and kept us laughing the entire time. They look for a few volunteers so be ready if you like to drink and be part of the show. It's a great way to spend the evening and get a show and comedy all in one. If you are in a rush to take off, don't order anything because the bill comes at the end and you will be there a minute before you can run out!

    This might have been one of the funniest shows around. The actors are great, the venue is amazing and the whole experience is fun. Be prepared to laugh and have a good time.

    As a product of the public education system, the most I learned about Shakespeare was… well nothing; none of it made any sense to me in school. However, two things I was quickly versed in after moving to Chicago is that theater and drinking are very important and well crucial to staying warm. Drunk Shakespeare combines both of these things in the most magical of ways. When you enter you are greeted by a shot. Don’t ask questions, just take it, and let the adventure begin. Over the 90min performance you will laugh, probably want to dance, and if you get lucky you will end up a part of the act. I have now been twice and am planning to take my parents during the holidays. The drink menu is robust, the cast takes the time to mingle with the audience before the show, and well if you’re reading this in the winter, it’s warm inside! My drawbacks are minimal and minor at best. My critique is the seating and the shows consistency. Although the ambiance is a fun library, don’t expect your back to thank you for attending. The seats lack any kind of support and are very tight. However, if you find yourself perplexed on whether to attend a sold-out show or one with more space, always choose the sellout performance. The crowd and its reaction are what makes the show brilliant! As for the consistency, I won’t give away what play is rendered, but they do it so well EVERY SINGLE TIME. I wish the cast modernized other works of Shakespeare too instead of putting on the same play. Although it has proven to be a timeless act. All in all, I rate the show a 17/17 and will be back because I have a strong back and well, if the play doesn’t change, the audiences reactions do and that’s enough for me.

    100% recommend. So much fun! The actors go all out to give the audience an amazing time. The venue is so fun and the bar makes good drinks!! Plan ahead and buy tickets on Groupon or TodayTix and save money. Not for kids or those who don't like potty words. Be sure to eat first as there are just light snacks available.

    What a fun night out! It's especially fun if you know Shakespeare's tragedies. They did a parody of MacBeth the night we went. The talent in that room was impressive and I haven't laughed that hard in a long time. My husband and I will definitely go again next time we spend a weekend in Chicago.

    We had an amazing time! Better than we even expected. My husband is an English teacher and has taught Shakespeare for many years, such a fun spin on it! Helps to be a little bit nerdy and a little bit tipsy when you go see it :) Shout out to Angel, she was really helpful and helped us fix an issue.

    Drunk Shakespeare in Chicago was AMAZING! The cast was hilarious. They provide a fun environment to watch Shakespeare in and make it hilarious. I would go back night after night if I could. 10 out of 10 would recommend this to someone!

    I’m slightly intoxicated, but this is a wonderful show. I NEED the actors to know they are fabulous. How often is it the same show? Two years ago it was the same… but truly a whole different experience none the less. Bravo 💕
