"Director Michael Michetti's fascinating, multi-racial period concept makes a sumptuous showcase for the brand new Boston Court Theatre, and his leads re to die for. As sensuous as they are sentient, as ardent as they are articulate, this is a pair of lovable lovers we can fall for almost as quickly as they do. Michetti has conjured a subtle, fascinating historical milieu." -LA Times
"A hip-gyrating, feverish Romeo and Juliet unequivocally announcing the arrival of a major neew venue for local theater...The kind of balcony-swaying, no-seat-belt ride that you dream of seeing more often in LA." -LA Weekly
"Impressively evocative." -Daily Variety
"A first-class version of a classic...a theater lover's delight...Fresh, well played, and genuinely entertaining, this Shakespeare would be worth seeing anywhere." -Pasadena Star News
"A brave and inventive interpretation of the great classic. The idea is brilliant and Michetti's remarkable vision is gorgeously aided by a crack design team." -Entertainment Today
