Description

“Fun-filled and light-hearted, Much Ado About Nothing-the latest Shakespeare-in-the-Park offering from Nashville Shakespeare Festival-offers its audiences a tuneful, sprightly way to celebrate late summer amid all the trappings of theatrical magic, brought to life by a confident, self-assured cast uttering the Bard’s timeless words set to the tuneful music and lyrics of Janet McMahan and David Huntsinger.”
-Broadway World

Set in 1945 as soldiers return from the war in the Pacific, this contemporary setting of Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing is a unique combination of classic Shakespeare and modern Broadway.  In the style of a 1940’s musical, this version of Much Ado About Nothing was a run-away hit for the Nashville Shakespeare Festival’s 2012 season. Shakespeare’s timeless humor combined with these expertly crafted original songs by two of Nashville’s premiere musical theater songwriters make this a slam-dunk audience pleaser.
