In 2004, it was reworked by Theatreworks USA, streamlining the story and retooling some of the songs and dialogue. The new version has enjoyed huge success across two US tours, a run in London's West End, and in children's theaters across the country, including NWCT, which previously produced the show in 2006. Check out photos of the show's stars below!

The Comedy of Errors in HD - Shakespeare's furiously paced comedy staged in a contemporary world into which walk three prohibited foreigners who see everything for the first time.
