Feuding families, balcony scenes, and bitter rivalries – sound familiar? Here’s Romeo and Juliet hilariously reimagined in the world of competitive barbecue. At the Verona International Ribfest, where their families are sworn enemies competing for the top prize, Ronny and Julie, our “char-crossed” lovers, desperately try to hide their newfound romance. They might have succeeded, if not for the arrival of two nosy food bloggers with smartphones! No Bones About It is a timeless tale set in a contemporary world, full of love, laughter, music, and surprises – with a much happier ending than Shakespeare’s version.
Truth: This show is a gem. It’s funny, tuneful, and has that wonderful momentum you crave in a musical.
Plus, it’s one of the easiest shows to market. Just say, “Romeo and Juliet in the world of competitive barbecue” and “Two smokehouses, both alike in dignity,” and you’ll have people laughing and eager to see the show.
