"Romeo and Harriet" is a delightful musical spoof of Shakespeare's timeless tragedy -- turned comedy!  Our stage is set in a futuristic city, where the up-scale Montague's Department store and the second-rate Capulet's Discount Mart compete with witty insults (and laser swords?).  But it's not all as you remember the story.  True, Romeo falls in love with the Capulet's daughter, but good luck finding any dead bodies -- unless the audience dies laughing!  It's pure comedy with pie fights, a nurse obsessed with paper cuts, disco balls, and an incredibly talented parody of the romantic balcony scene.  There's even a song in iambic pentameter!  As they say, "it would be a real tragedy to miss out on this one!"
