This was a perfect evening for me and my boyfriend. We're both literature nerds, but I'm confident this would have been a fantastic night regardless. The performers are so charismatic and charming. The audience participation (I raced against a performer to chug a beer) adds another layer of fun onto an already great show. I highly recommend this show.

The best show I've ever been to. Ive seen Broadway shows and off Broadway shows. This takes the cake. Hilarious and so much fun.

Six months ago in my hometown, my girlfriend and I met when we both auditioned and got into a production of Macbeth for a small community college. We found this show online and decided to grab tickets while we were in Chicago, and to our surprise it was a drunken version of Macbeth. It was a moment of kismet unparalleled and an extremely entertaining show. To the actor playing Macbeth, thank you for letting me do the monologue with you.

We have been told to ask Trip advisor for a refund and Drunk Shakespeare would honor it because we were stopped at the door due to No proof of Vaccinations. We were vaccinated but didn’t have our cards due to not needing with federal mandate change. It ruined our evening plans and our chicago experience for the night. We live out of state and not able to reschedule. Any company that doesn’t have a plan to communicate better shouldn’t be supported, please help me get a refund .

Great show - wish this was also on the west coast. Actors are hilarious and ridiculously talented. Macbeth was significantly more entertaining than any other presentation I've seen. My wife and I treat COVID patients, so really appreciate the precautions.

These guys are brilliant and mad as a hatter, you're such a talented and friendly cast! You'll laugh until you drop dead and come back home with a satisfied smile. We went all the way from Spain to meet the show and they didn't fail to please our wildest expectations. Surprisingly rambunctious, raunchy and pure 100% uncut genius. Don't hesitate for a second and BUY the 500$ ticket with a lot of luxury extras for an incredible part-of-the-show immersive premium experience for you and your lovebird. The generosity of Drunk Shakespeare's cast will be the ultimate gift for anniversaries and newlyweds. We love you, guys! 💛

As Brits we weren't quite sure what to expect but we had a fantastic time and we've already earmarked here for a return visit when we're next in Chicago . The actors had a great rapport with each other as well as the audience which meant there were lots of laughs all around. The cocktails were also amazing.

Yes. The alcohol flows freely plus they require it.

I really want to go to this but I suffer from back pain. What are the seats at the back like please? Is it a stool with a bench in front? There’s no way I can do the others up the front, unless I’m the queen.

The mezzanine or balcony level is a bench like 4 steps up and behind the bookshelves. So you could lean on the shelf in front of you. Like the others have said the staff is so accommodating they would get you a stool. And it would be totally worth it to go for the throne seats!
