Details

A fresh urban take on a story as old skool as love itself, and complete with a live DJ, B-boys and girls, MCs and divas, Funk it Up About Nothin' is a rom-com street party with banging bass and much, much more. This is an outrageous 'hip-hoptation' based on the Bard's classic comedy Much Ado About Nothing. Whether you're looking for a great night of Hip-Hop or a new way to think about Shakespeare, Funk It Up About Nothin' delivers a raucous, high-energy production like no other.
