Love's Labour's Lost-One Singular Sensation

FREE Shakespeare in the Park, Love's Labour's Lost a new musical.  It is NYC's beloved gifts to the public.  Is it possible to improve on Shakespeare?  It may be heresy to say, but I dare say, YES.  This  romantic comedy has been contemporized, set to music, & cast with the best of brightest stars of Broadway, performed beneath celestial stars.  The music/lyrics are by Obie winner, Michael Friedman.  The book adaptation is by Obie winner, Alex Timbers.  Shakespeare's genius, Friedman's music, Timber's adaptation meld into a hybrid vigor that not only has Shakespeare rolling in his grave, but rocking & rolling, and standing up applauding.  Friedman utilizes  a multitude of musical scores, with a special hat's off & wink to Broadway.  I will say what I mean & mean what I say, this thoroughly entertaining production should be enjoyed by everyone.  The entire cast was dazzling.  What you should do for your love is take them for this one sensational evening.  The entire show is one winning combination of music, comedy, talent & love.
