Lots of fun, well cast; actors did a great job and understood their roles. Took my 3 kids---14, 11, and 10---and they LOVED it.

An engaging take on a classic Shakespeare comedy. Fresh, without being ridiculously "modern"

Although the audience was slow to warm up, by show's end, we all left wanting more. The actors provided icing to the bard's cake. The story is fun and the actors obviously had fun performing it, therefore we had fun as well.
Can't wait for more....

The professionalism of the players was a joy to watch. I thought of nothing else as I was drawn into the play. Every actor's part was played to her utmost ability and the entertainment was awesome. Cannot comprehend the command of the language that the players exhibited so effortlessly.
Especially enjoyed the part of Benedict. His muscles rocked! A special treat for the ladies. Conrad, we noticed yours, too.

This was a wonderful production of my favorite Shakespeare play. The actors were so well matched and seemed to have a great time. I also loved the music between acts and meeting the cast afterwards was a treat. My only concern was the rather uncomfortable chairs. You could also hear some of the music from the Opera playing next door during the latter part of the play which was a little distracting. I will however go back as I appreciate the Richmond Shakespeare group so much and we are fortunate to have them in our community and the theatre is very nice.

Good production of Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing in a great small theater in downtown Richmond! Worth the trip from Fredericksburg. Would attend other plays by the same production company in the same place. The director was friendly and concerned that the audience was comfortable. Ticket prices are about at the max. but would still attend.

Productions of Much Ado are usually far better remembered for their Beatrice and Benedick than for their Dogberry and Verges, but the Richmond Shakespeare company's leading man and lady found themselves rather upstaged by the comic hero of the play. Some elements of the show could certainly use some tightening up - like scene changes which, even in character, lasted far too long and some mid-line pauses which were less amusing than the actors seemed to think they would be - but overall it was an enjoyable production with a talented cast.

The cast of very talented actors, this excellent new venue, and the play itself deserve standing-room-only crowds everynight, and then a standing ovation. The small and intimate theater, and absence of loud cicadas and crickets, led to a very satisfying experience of the drama. We laughed out loud, and shed a tear, then smiled again till our cheeks hurt. Great job! Grant, keep up the good work! Hey nonny nonny!

This is a wonderful production! Although the start is bumpy, with some unnecessary musical numbers that are not on par with the quality of the rest of the show, once the cast gets started the performances are stellar. Beatrice and Benedick are particularly wonderful, but in fact the entire cast desires kudos for making this a two hour play that flies by on the wings of laughter. This is a must see if you like Shakespeare, or live theatre, or would just love to spend an evening being entertained by a group of talented people.

Richmond Shakespeare upped the ante this summer with 'Henry V,' 'A Midsummer Night's Dream,' and 'Hamlet.'
They've done it again.
This is quite possibly the best ensemble I've ever seen; every cast member added vibrance, exuberance, and depth to the play as a whole. Richmond Shakespeare 'regulars' and newcomers alike will enjoy performances by not only favorite familiar faces (such as Sarah Jamillah Johnson, T.J. Simmons, and Bob Jones) but also newcomers (such as John Conyers, Alana Smith, and Chris Blake). It seems unfair to highlight certain cast members, because everyone truly gave it their all. Director Grant Mudge was clearly in his element with a perfect storm of a dynamic cast and a new space.
Those who have come to love the former downtown performance space (Second Presbyterian Church) will be delighted by the meshing of the intimacy of that space with the layout of the summer venue, Agecroft Hall.
Those who are new to Richmond Shakespeare will wonder why they haven't been coming to these shows for years.
All in all, it would be a shame to pass up a chance to see this show.

Much Ado About Nothing at CenterStage in Richmond, Virginia is a great show. If you have never seen much Shakespeare, this is the play for you. The language is very understandable and the entire cast does a great job. The lead male and female are really outstanding. Together and individually they add both fire and humor to their roles. If you are tired of sitting at home watching boring television, this is an excellent reason to go to downtown Richmond and experience some true culture.

The actors and actresses in the play were incredible at portraying their roles. They capture the excitement of the audience and have you laughing and in awe the whole night. Beatrice and Benedict were extraordinary, as was Leonardo, Don Pedro and Jon Pedro.

It was a WONDERFUL show. Small and intimate, fun and engaging. We laughed and laughed. I couldn't have asked for a better evening at the theater. The cast was a fun group and interacted with the small gathering as if we were all old friends which really added to the experience. Can't wait to see them all again!

Much Ado / Where's Chaz was very entertaining. We were laughing quite often & enjoyed the show entirely. Great adaptation to modern setting. The Love Guru had me crying, I laughed so hard! All of the cast was engaging & made the time fly. I will be looking for more from this group in the future.
