Hamlet! the MusicalHamlet! the Musical
Synopsis:
Six fearless actors and a live orchestra squeeze murder, madness (and musical theatre) into this joyous and critically-acclaimed retelling of Shakespeare's greatest tragedy. It's the Bard's most famous play only shorter, funnier and with a few more show tunes. Boasting rapier-sharp wit and a sumptuous score, Hamlet! the Musical features all of your favourite characters, from the sweet Prince Hamlet himself, to crazed Ophelia and the treacherous Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. Join us for a gleefully inventive and uplifting evening of foot-tapping first folio frolics. See it or Elsinore!
