Synopsis
A madcap interpretation of the Bard's romantic A Midsummer Night's Dream set in the present in the Royal Street Hotel in New Orleans on Mardi Gras night. Egeus, who owns the hotel, wants his daughter Hermia to marry Demetrius, the assistant manager. Hermia loves Lysander, a lowly desk clerk, and the switchboard girl Helena loves Demetrius. When Oberon and Titania, the fabulous Las Vegas rock stars appearing in the hotel's nightclub, have a falling out, the four lovers become involved in Oberon's scheme for revenge.

Customer Reviews
Very accessible and creative modernization of A Midsummer Night's Dream. Great show for creative staging and set design, too.
Great music!
Media Reviews
“Alan Menken wrote the score for this alt-Shakespeare comedy the same year he wrote Little Shop of Horrors. This little gem … bears many hallmarks of Menken’s famously foot-tapping style.” —Colorado Boulevard
“The show did exactly what it was supposed to—make us laugh.” —Colorado Boulevard
