The original R&J always left me with so many questions, and this deliciously moving prequel answered them to my satisfaction. Rose is a beautifully multi-dimensional character--a power house of a woman any actress would be thrilled to play. Bits of the original Shakespeare text and characters are peppered throughout the plot, which is at once original and true to the story many love. A brilliant addition to any company's season!
