If you're new to the show as well, be advised it quotes plenty of Elizabethan language from Shakespeare's original text, then seasons it with a drizzle of "baby"s and "man"s. It jars the first time that gives way to pop, rock or, in one early number, reggae, but the vibe soon feels right at home. As we make our way through "the land of Dyleria" (what-no Dylan?), we encounter Jake Blues as Toby Belch, Little Richard as Andrew Aguecheek, and a Duke who looks suspiciously like the King of Rock and Roll.
