Brush Up Your Shakespeare


Went back to The Met Theater in Hollywood tonight to see "The People vs. Friar Laurence -- The Man Who Killed Romeo and Juliet."

Fortunately there were more people in the audience then the last time and they had the performance.

My colleague, Jim Kieffer, stars in the show as "Lord Capulet."

It's a satirical musical comedy that looks at what would happen if the priest who married Romeo and Juliet, and provided them with the secret sleeping potion, was blamed for their deaths.

The show includes funny homages to everything from "Our Town" to Don Knots on "The Andy Griffith Show."

A very talented cast carries it all off with aplomb.
