Juliet & Juliet: Improvised Shakespeare

Just delightful

Quick witted, compelling, irreverent, hilarious, playful, charming -- this is the first show this season that I will happily pay to see a second time!

A Delight

These two clearly love their craft and that love is contagious. Plenty of laughs!

DO NOT MISS THIS

These two, I can't even tell you how talented, creative, hilarious, and clever they are. You do not need to love Shakespeare to enjoy this show. You don't even have to love improv. It's that good! Just go. You won't regret it!

It hurts. Please help

You know when you see something so incredible that you feel angry and in pain? That’s Juliet & Juliet. These two make actual magic happen, and they even turn into real ghosts! If you don’t see this show, I’ll never forgive you.

Best invisible Peanut Butter Sandwich EVER!

Was a wonderful show! Couldn’t stop laughing! Getith your self-ith to-ith this show!

Funnier than Shakespeare himself

They created a funny, entertaining, and cohesive story from audience prompts so quickly it's hard to grasp it was improv. Super fun show I'd love to attend again to see what they do with another audience!

A True Masterpiece

I’m in awe of Meghan and Sami. A good improv show can take many forms, but a show aping a particular theatrical genre should hopefully at least approach the real thing. Many times throughout the performance I forgot I was watching two performers creating a Shakespearean work on the fly and would’ve believed that they had found a long lost script by Willy Shakes himself. I’ve seen other improvised Shakespeare productions, both in town and out, and Juliet & Juliet bests them all. Don’t miss this!

How do their brains works this good?

Watching these two accomplish such stellar storytelling while through such a complex form is always so amazing. Catch these two while you can!

Hilarious from start to finish

I love seeing Shakespeare performed in different ways. However, seeing Shakespeare improvised for an hour? This lovely duo kept me laughing from start to finish. If you aren't a Shakespeare fan, go see this show. If you love Shakespeare, go see this show.

So soooo creative and funny!

My New Favorite Shakespeare Play

Meghan and Sami are incredible performers. I can't remember the last time I saw such quick-witted improvisers - AND they're doing it in Shakespearean language. They hit all the right tropes, create the perfect characters, and leave you laughing until you're crying. This is a MUST SEE! Move over William, this is my new favorite Shakespeare!

It's What it Says on the Label, and It's Amazing!

This was a great show with a pretty fringy concept. Wonderful energy and joy. I'd be sure to add this to my list.

“Whose Ass Upon Mine Throne Sit!?”

Improv can be an aquired taste. So can the Bard. J&J elevates both.

Do Not Miss

Meghan and Sami are brilliant, quick-witted, and hilarious. I was there opening night and the laughs were non-stop. Clever, high energy, and and ever so slightly insane, this duo put on an amazing show that is not to be missed. I'm still in awe of their comfort *improvising* at breakneck speed in Shakespearian English while still managing to remain 100% approachable for a modern audience.

It’s unbelievable that they can do this!

Improvising Shakespeare for an hour — if I hadn’t seen it, I would not have believed it could be done. Sometimes it was hard to catch all the lines, but what incredible skill and talent.

A delight even if you love or loathe the Bard!!

A wildly entertaining and hilarious comedy duo! They improvised the world of a Shakespearean play as if they were born speaking his words. Like meow, the way they can just improve those words!! The turns of phrases alone are worth your time. They also deliver physical comedy and daring drama! I want to see a whole show of Meghan as the overly verbose apothecary not saving or maybe saving Sami as a wounded soldier. Also brilliant sharing of characters when the scene had more than two people in it! It’s completely improvised so no two shows are the same. And wow, I really wish they taught my required Shakespeare class in college.

Must See Show

This is just a flat out incredible show. Two people, multiple characters all done at a great pace. These two are just amazing improvers and that is to the audience's great delight. Definitely see this show.

A+ improvising

Doing improv well is hard. Duos improv can be harder still. Shakespearian improv, where the improvers convincingly mime iambic pentameter is harder still. Shakespearian improv where there's wordplay in the just-made words is exceptional. Juliet and Juliet does all of these things, with a lightness of touch and confidence that was wonderful to see. Meghan and Sami were simply superb, making engaging characters on the fly, sharing the limelight while each shone at their times. This was a real tour de force of improv, and of a particularly difficult kind of improv.

To see or not to...you should just see it!

Very impressive improvising, I would forget that it wasn't scripted! Mostly stayed in Shakespearean lingo but the breaks out of it were perfect and hysterical! Highly recommend

Incomparable talent making Shakespeare "for" every

If you hate Shakespeare - you'll be gobsmacked at how much you love this duo's stupidly fun tales. If you love Shakespeare- you’ll be delighted at how well these fans honor his style without sticking to his script. The indescribely smart hijinks these incredible women bring to the stage would make Will himself ROFL in his grave.

Amazing fun!

These two are so great at improv and know how to create hilarity that feels perfectly absurd and Shakespearian!

Hilarious and Impressive!

Opening night was stunning, I was enthralled the whole time. The plot they created was fun, and there was never a dull moment. Make sure to see one of these performances!

Go see this show

This is one of the best improv shows I’ve seen in a long time. The performers are playful masters of language. The love and joy floweth freely during this show. Thou must add this to your must-see list!

GETETH TOETH THISETH SHOWETH

Been a fan of these two for a long time. Saturday's show was everything I've come to expect.

Talented Performers

The audience on Sunday were roaring with laughter. This is a fast paced show and you need to be careful to not miss anything. The two person cast plays off each other well. At the start of the show they ask for at least four words to use in the performance. They did a grand job creating a working story. High energy. A must if you want to see a strong, humorous two person cast create in the spirit of Shakespeare.

Breathtakingly brilliant

A MUST see

Funny, energetic, brilliant, creative and innovative. Their ability to keep the plot lines straight and tie them up within an hour all while staying within the language of the time was just *chef's kiss*

Just Perfect

This show was wonderful from start to finish. Meghan and Sami are so quick witted and versed in the tropes and themes of Shakespeare that you feel like you've stumbled on a lost manuscript only they know. The performances and improv form are top notch! See this show while you can!

‘Twas a riotous affair

If I’m honest, improv makes me nervous, but this was expertly executed and completely original. I laughed the whole time. The two Juliets have great timing, their grasps of Shakespearean language is impressive, and their imagination is bizarre and hilarious. I would absolutely recommend this show.

They're the best

Juliet and Juliet is one of smartest and most delightful improv duos I've ever seen. They're rarely in the same place at the same time to perform, so don't miss this chance to see 'em!

I don’t care about Shakespeare but I live for J&J

As someone who grew up in theater and has frequently been told that Shakespeare was a genius who we should all reviere and perform his shows annually, I’ve never really gotten the hype - not more than for many other shows written throughout time that is. I ultimately find his shows fine. I understand the language enough but generally find his work inaccessible to modern audiences and his stories out of touch with modern experience and societal structures. HOWEVER I absolutely jump at any opportunity to see Juliet and Juliet perform. These two performers think at the speed of light and improvise with such joy and mastery over the genre that is absolutely captivating. I cannot recommend this show enough - even to those who don’t care for Shakespeare or Improv for one bit. It’s just that damn good.
