Funk It Up About Nothin’

About This Show

From the minds and rhymes behind The Bomb-itty of Errors comes the world premiere of Funk It Up About Nothin’, an “ad-rap-tation” of William Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing, created and directed by GQ and JQ.

The Q Brothers transform the Bard’s romantic comedy into an exuberant hip-hop extravaganza, rapped to the rhythm of six MCs and a DJ. See it on Navy Pier this summer, before Funk It Up heads to Scotland for the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
