Not just chuckling, yes-I-see-this-part-is-meant-to-be-comical funny, but laugh out loud, hollering and cheering funny. . .The language is as clever, sharp and twisty as Shakespeare's.” -Edinburgh Evening News "Nothing short of brilliant. Clever writing, rhythmic flow, witty musical allusions and intelligent humor…the show is thoroughly entertaining.” -MTV“A rap version of Shakespeare's Comedy of Errors that pulses with wit, savvy and a sublime sense of its own ridiculousness. . .You'll be enchanted.” -The Telegraph “Bomb-itty is witty, lewd and altogether new. Think 'The Beastie Boys from Syracuse'." -The New Yorker ”A stroke of genius. . .the language fizzes with new life, it's irreverent and yet in tune with Shakespeare's original, it's clever and witty and fast.” -The Times “Bomb-itty of Errors' gives the bard's slapstick farce a Generation-Y rejuvenation...scores very high on sexy-party index...You're carried along by the energetic tumble of words.” -The Wall Street JournalFEE: $75 per performanceOptional Instrumental and "Scratch" Track CDs are available to licensed groups, $19.95.Character Descriptions:ACTOR 1 – Dromio of Syracuse, Desi, Dr. Pinch, Backup singer, Hendelberg Double #4
