Gil Cates Theater at the Geffen Playhouse

Meet Juicy, a young, queer Black man with a Shakespearean-sized dilemma. When the ghost of his dead father shows up at his family’s BBQ wedding reception demanding his murder be avenged, does the poetic and sensitive Juicy have it in him to do the deed, or will he “to thine own self be true?” See what the New York Times calls “a hilarious yet profound tragedy smothered in comedy,” in this Pulitzer Prize–winning take on Hamlet, direct from Broadway to L.A.

Purchase any price level tickets for the run of the play (March 27 – April 28, 2024, excludes April 2 benefit) with code: CTHAM and 50% of your ticket purchase benefits Celebration Theatre. Tickets begin at $30.00. No ticket limit. Purchase online at geffenplayhouse.org. No refunds and no ticket exchanges.
