Same! Actually, I brought in my DVD copy of RSC, and we watched this clip after we finished watching the 1968 and 1996 versions of Romeo + Juliet. Everyone laughed! xD
their hamlet just made me laugh so hard i lost my voice, the first time i saw this was in high school, i bought the dvd a few years later and im still busting up each and everytime i watch this dvd, the hamlet part can have me laughing insanely hard then have me morose from their soliloqouys
That sound at the very end is the rare sound of a British, upper-middle class audience showing extreme appreciation despite the American accents in Shakespeare. This is like watching a VC and Medal of Honor in action.
I know it's weird, but my favorite part is when Adam catches the guitar...He was so slick, you don't even expect it or think it's coming...And I love how the song he plays and "hums" is the theme song from the Franco Zefferelli "Romeo & Juliet" movie [ya know, the one with Olivia Hussey]
I got to watch this in class the other day, I swear I could not stop cracking up! These guys are fanasticly hilariously amazing!!! haha "None could duck it, and in the end they both kicked the bucket." loved that part, and the epilouge! lol
"though all thy veins will run a cold and drowsy humor" "oh i think i feel a cold and drousy humor running through my veins" "i told you so" "thanks obi wan"
"OH SWEAR NOT BY THE MOON" "Then what shall I swear by then?" "....I don't know. Not the moon...how about...her" "Lady by yonder bless-ed virgin I swear" "No...no i don't think so"
Me too! I watched it in class today and I Couldn't breathe! especially with the knife in his stomach, head and nose!:D too shame we didn't get to see the whole show! xx
"Then I'll be brief! Happy daggar, this is thy sheathe!" (pulls out tiny daggar) "That's Romeo for you." (stabs self) "AGHHHHHHHHHHH!!!" (belch) lol!! I love this so much!
It's either the "Theme from Romeo and Juliet" by Henry Mancini or the traditional tune "Greensleeves" aka "What Child Is This?", one of the two, I'm not sure which.
i absolutely love this! hilarious! we watched this after reading romeo and juliet. Got to get a hold of the whole thing...i luv his falsetto voice as juliet.
LOL this is awesome. i watched this in freshman year and this was so hilarious. it still is! i love the part of then the guy stabs himself w/ the dagger. LOLthank you os much for uploading this! glad i found this again. good time~
It's okay, they still have 4 other shows currently on tour. Complete History of America, the Bible: the Complete Word of God, Completely Hollywood, and All the Great Books. You can check their website for tour dates :)
We just finished the play in English and we watched the 1968 movie and then our teacher showed us this.. I was crying of laughter!
Same! Actually, I brought in my DVD copy of RSC, and we watched this clip after we finished watching the 1968 and 1996 versions of Romeo + Juliet. Everyone laughed! xD
Romeo: why art thou so fair. Sleeping Juliet: I don't know
I love when they flip frantically thru the pages after Tybalt's death.
Watch this in English class and I just died.
Same

Yes!!
I watched this in English in the 8th grade, still have to come back and watch it from time to time
Best version of Romeo and Juliet ever!!!
XD i feel a cold and drowsy humor running through my veins obi wan
"AHHHH I am slain." *walks off with me laughing hysterically for hours on end.
their hamlet just made me laugh so hard i lost my voice, the first time i saw this was in high school, i bought the dvd a few years later and im still busting up each and everytime i watch this dvd, the hamlet part can have me laughing insanely hard then have me morose from their soliloqouys
I remember watching this in my freshman year in high school! Can’t believe it’s been 5 years since I started high school
If only when you fell in love did you dance in unison like that. lol.
And what an epic ending.
I did this in high school and we got it sent to the IHSA Theatre Festival. Best show I've ever seen. LOVE.

...Idk c:
I got to watch this in class the other day, I swear I could not stop cracking up! These guys are fanasticly hilariously amazing!!!

"OH I feel a cold and drowsy humor running through my veins Obi-Wan"
lololol!
My favorite version! Super funny!
Get over it. I like cried. I'm laughug wayyyyy too hard.
"Thank you obi-wan" my favorite line outta this whole skit
"Oh I am slain!" "Uh... moving right along."
This is the best play in the whole performance! These guys are the best!
OMG! At the end he plays "What is a youth"! That was great.
"why are thou yet so fair"
"i dont know" XD hahahaha
"though all thy veins will run a cold and drowsy humor"
"oh i think i feel a cold and drousy humor running through my veins"
"i told you so"
"thanks obi wan"
1:14
"LOL"
O SWEAR NOT BY THE MOOOON!
"Lady, by yonder blessed virgin I swear!" ... "I don't think so."
It's having fun with them.
They make me respect Shakespeare even more.
**Dies laughing** This never gets old. "That's Romeo for you."
"Why art thou yet so fair?"
"I don't know!"
Quite humorous.
this is indeed classical and in a way, modern, a play not to miss!
we watched this in English class today and I was seriously laughing so hard. this kills me oh my gosh
Hah! I never noticed Friar Laurence's little "Toldja so!" after Juliet took the drug.
Lovely beautiful harmonization at the end and I love it when he flings his Juliet hair off at the end SO COOL!
We watched that in Theater II class last year. It has got to be one of the greatest plays of all time. Thanks for puting this up.
we watched this in english class on friday my teacher was laughing more than me
:-)
I am for you!
OH I AM SLAIN!!!!!
*walks away with sword still "in body"*
best part of Romeo and Juliet XD
"Oh, I feel a cold and drowsy humor running through my veins, Obi-Wan"
Was I the only person who thought that was funny enough to make it a comment?
"Ohh, no!!"
*runs and hits the guy in the balls*
awesome part haha!!!!!
"Oh, I feel a cold and drowsy humour running through my veins... Obi Wan." xD
Absolute genius. ;)
I used to watch this movie all the time!!! =) I love it.
i love this, it made romeo and juliet so much more interesting
bro i watched this multiple times and i'm still laughing at it!!! LOL
"OH SWEAR NOT BY THE MOON"
"Then what shall I swear by then?"
"....I don't know. Not the moon...how about...her"
"Lady by yonder bless-ed virgin I swear"
"No...no i don't think so"
"And Romeo and Juliet are deeeeAAAAADDDDDD~"
I LOVE the harmony and the wig flinging. Adam is EPIC. :D
The "doo-doo-doo-doooo" part is from "What is a Youth" in the Romeo and Juliet movie.
"Oh I feel a cold and drowzy humor runing through my veins Obi Wan." lol that was great.
I simply love everything!
Especially the footware.
HAHA! I remember watching this in comedic literature...the whole class was in tears at the end of the Romeo and Juliet skit! Long Live Adam!
thanks to these guys i now have the greatest material for a duo piece EVER!
obiwan...
I never laughed this hard 😂😂😂😂💔
Me too! I watched it in class today and I Couldn't breathe! especially with the knife in his stomach, head and nose!:D too shame we didn't get to see the whole show!
xx
I was laughing SO HARD in class when we watched this! My friends and I were CRYING because it was so funny!!!!!!! haha!
"Tuck your boobies in!" ahaha I watched the whole performance in 12th grade, and I still love it :D
love the retractable dagger bit.
I love how they laugh at "come come come come come" and then a second later they actually get it hahahaha
just watch this today in English. those guys made the tragedy play into a eye tearing and stomach torcher scene. they are awesone!
I AM SLAIN! *walks away*
this is a way better way to get the story then reading the entire book "The tragedy of Romeo and Juliet."
You've got to admire their dedication, they eally pulled this off well
"Oh, I feel a cold and drowsy humour running through my veins, Obi Wan."
lololol. XD
"by cupid he'd been crippled"
more like by a closet of supplies
"Good morning, where oh where is my love?? AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!" lol
This has got to be the funniest thing I have ever seen haha. They did an awesome job.
I don't know why, but I love how Adam catches the guitar.
"Then I'll be brief! Happy daggar, this is thy sheathe!" (pulls out tiny daggar) "That's Romeo for you." (stabs self) "AGHHHHHHHHHHH!!!" (belch) lol!! I love this so much!
The thing about this is that that's all Tybalt really needs to do, plot-wise. But no, Shakespeare had to give three or four terrible soliloquies.
It's either the "Theme from Romeo and Juliet" by Henry Mancini or the traditional tune "Greensleeves" aka "What Child Is This?", one of the two, I'm not sure which.
*I swear by the moon*
*OH SWEAR NOT BY THE MOON!!*
* What should i swear by then?*
*I don't know not the moon*
...i've watched this like 8 times in my shalespeare class......BWAHAHAHAAAA
"and thus with a kiss- *drinks more poison* - and thus with a kiss *mwah* (ewww) OH GET OVER IT!- i die."
Their fate persues 'em, they can't seem to duck it...
And at the end of Act 5 they both kick the bucket.
He he!
we watched this in our english lesson and everyone was in hysterics. it was sooooo funny
love the StarWars reference. "Oh i feel a cold and drowsy humour running through my veins, obi wan."
Quite Brilliant! A Dramatic Tragedy into Extrodinary Comedy :D
This never gets old!
"Oh I am slain!"
This is so great.
This was amazing! We watched this and part one in my English class yesterday. It definately makes Romeo and Juliet really interesting!!
"just say NO!"
I couldn't stop laughing the first time, watch it again and i laugh harder. Awesome romeo and Juliet performance
I have to wonder how many guitars they wrecked trying to get the timing right for that epilogue.
@disneyfangirl101 actually, it was Adam who snorted. Its so loud because all three of them have mics.
This was probably one of the top ten funniest things Ive ever seen!
Best part:
Tybalt: I am slayn
walks offstage
😂😂😂
I love Adam... he's awesome. He plays a fantastic Juliet. He's kinda cute too...
I find this very funny, especially the "That's Romeo for Ya.'
DONT SWEAR BY THE MOON!" XD that was the funniest part for me...
By. . . Cupid, he'd been. . . crippled.
PFFT I LOVE THESE GUYS SO MUCH.
i absolutely love this! hilarious! we watched this after reading romeo and juliet. Got to get a hold of the whole thing...i luv his falsetto voice as juliet.
I think it was an accident. You can hear Adam softly say that he's all right and that Reed didn't quite get him.
My high school is doing this and im playing Romeo. This is gonna be sooo fun!!
"Lady by yonder blessed virgin......"
...
"Nah I don't think so Romeo"
XD
LOL this is awesome. i watched this in freshman year and this was so hilarious. it still is! i love the part of then the guy stabs himself w/ the dagger. LOLthank you os much for uploading this! glad i found this again. good time~
so much better than the actual romeo and juliet. if this was what we learned in school i wouldnt mind learning this in school lol
hahaha we saw this in my Creative Writing class. The kissing scene gets me every time lol.
"SWEAR NOT BY THE MOON!!"
O.O
"What shall I swear by?"
"I don't know, not the moon."
oh i feal a cold and drowsy humor running through my veins, Obi wan LOL
It's okay, they still have 4 other shows currently on tour. Complete History of America, the Bible: the Complete Word of God, Completely Hollywood, and All the Great Books. You can check their website for tour dates :)
"what shall i swear by then?"
"i don't know...how bout her?" (points to old lady in the audience)
"lady thy blessed virgin swear."
"i don't think so."
"OH I AM SLAIN!" lol thats one of my favorite parts xD
Oh, thy wretched boy, I am for you! Oh, I am slain!
*walks off stage*
xD absolutely hilarious!!!
