Much Ado About Nothing

Classics on the Rocks brings Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing to life in a setting as suave as Sinatra and as chic as a cocktail lounge at midnight. Welcome to Messina. The drinks are strong, the music’s swinging, and the “merry war” of wits between Beatrice and Benedick is about to begin. When soldiers return from war, love is in the air—but so is deception. Hearts are won and nearly lost in this fast-paced battle of wits, disguises, and double-crosses. Performed in our signature straight-forward, character-driven style, this fast-talking, sharp-witted comedy packs bold performances, sizzling banter, and a whole lot of heart. Whether you’re a longtime Shakespeare fan or new to the Bard, this is a night at the theater you won’t want to miss. Because there’s nothing more thrilling than watching love gamble everything—and win.
