Shakespeare’s Midsummer dream is already a tantalizing mash-up that mixes the mundane mortal world with the whimsy of fairyland royalty. Consider: the romance of four fated lovers, the bumbling farce of a man with a donkey head, and the surface story of finding true love with a tragic play-within-a-play. So it’s only natural that City Theatre would take that one step further, adding a modern musical twist to the timeless tale. Shakespeare with a soundtrack? Only the most foolish of mortals would miss this show. – Cat McCarrey
