The morning show, primarily for students and educators, is completely sold out and the tickets for the 7:00pm evening show are going fast as well.
This production of Shakespeare's wonderful play by the Acting Company and Guthrie Theater has met with enthusiastic receptions as it has toured around the country. Ken Jaworoski of the New York Times said in his review:
"In Shakespeare the big scenes stir your blood, yet it’s the small moments that can steal your heart. That’s never more apparent than in the balcony scene of “Romeo and Juliet” ...
"As the two lovers part, Romeo (Sonny Valicenti) offers Juliet (Laura Esposito) one final, tiny finger-wave, a boyish and tender gesture that elicited a quiet “awww” from many in the audience. That delightful but all-too-rare attention to detail caps an exhilarating rendition of the famous scene. "From the Acting Company's website regarding this new production from director Penny Metropulos of the Oregon Shakespeare Festival:
Shakespeare’s iconic romantic tragedy of innocent young lovers falling victim to family hatred and cruel destiny... swords clash, everlasting love is promised and a treacherous sleeping potion is swallowed in the greatest love story of all time. Young love has never been so delightful or as dangerous as in this stirring new production.
