UFV Theatre’s Romeo and Juliet opened last Friday to an excited and engaged audience. The buzz in the lobby was magnetic and the post-show reception crowd had to be (gently) pushed out the door!  As the show heads into the second week of a three-week run, here’s what some of the audience members thought of the show:

“I paid for my seat but I was only on the edge of it.”

“Really great costumes.”

“I didn’t expect to like the post-apocalyptic setting but it really worked.”

“My heart raced out of my chest.”

“Aesthetically amazing.”

“Surprising!”

“What an engaging production! A clear vision, right from the opening scene….A real triumph!”
