Romeo and Juliet has audience members on the edge of their seats

By Melanie Wickes

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!”
