2008 World Premiere at Chicago Shakespeare Theater
FUNK IT UP ABOUT NOTHIN'

"Exceedingly smart and funny... It's clever stuff. This lively and well- performed show will greatly amuse...When it comes to funking up the Bard, the Q's are your guys."
- Chris Jones, Chicago Tribune

"Downright irresistible... Its cast of six actors are so physically and verbally agile, and so savvy in their ability to adapt to a whole new meter and method, that it's a pleasure just to watch them mix it up with such complete brilliance."
- Hedy Weiss, Chicago SunTimes

"Talented, bouncy cast...wildly energetic and likeably clever...the cleverness of the Q's cannot be questioned."
- Steven Oxman, Variety

"5 stars!"
- Brian Nemtusak, Time Out Chicago

"Deftly imagined...Funk It Up is a witty, exuberant bit of theater. Bright, brisk and wholly original."
- Barbara Vitello, Daily Herald

"...same sassy-silly spirit of their earlier hit The Bomb-itty of Errors. A beat- bumping, stir-raising 75-minute romp that's all energy, occasional eloquence and jokes that come too fast for laughter to process."
- Lawrence Bommer, Chicago Free Press

"The cast's versatility and stamina is remarkable...all six form an ensemble that delivers the tongue twisting dialogue and frisky physical action with nary a fluff, a tribute to their talent and the co-directing of GQ and JQ."
- Dan Zeff, Illinois Wire
