For the same reasons they are still entertaining, and why any dramatic entertainment is entertaining: they tell interesting stories, and have interesting people doing and saying interesting things.

What are the features of drama in Elizabethan age?
Elizabethan plays defied the unities of time and place. They included acts of violence on the stage, and included dozens of characters over extensive periods of time and a wide range of locations. The characters shared soliloquies with the audiences, in which they articulated their most private thoughts and feelings. They plays took advantage of the stages which acted as permanent unit sets.
Why were Elizabethan theatres round?
Not all Elizabethan Theatres were round, although the most famous ones were. These included the Theatre, Curtain, Rose, Globe, Swan and Hope. The reason for the round shape is the same as the reason it is used when building sports stadia--to have all of the audience the same distance from the action. In square theatres (like the Red Bull and Fortune) the seats in the corners would have had a poorer view.
Is the Elizabethan theater also the globe theater?
No, the terms are not synonymous. In the phrase "Elizabethan theatre" the word "theatre" does not always imply a building, but more often the style, customs, practises, plays, playwrights and actors which defined the theatre community in London during the reign of Elizabeth I (1558-1603). It can also mean a building built during that period specifically as a venue for play performance--what was at that time called a playhouse. The Globe Theatre was only one (although the most famous one) of these Elizabethan playhouses. Others included the Rose, the Swan, the Curtain, the Fortune and the Red Bull.
What were the two popular dances during Elizabethan times?
The formal (Court) dances included the volte and the pavanne but there are lots of dances collected by Playford (and published from 1650 onwards) that date back to the Elizabethan era and include HUNSDON HOUSE, a square dance, which includes the earliest example of a grand square. Other early dances include NONSUCH and GATHERING PEASCODS. Around the same time, running set was taken from England to the Appalachian mountains by Puritans. A search for Playford or The English Dancing Master will provide you with all Playford's published dances. Shakespeare's Globe Theatre in London also has a dance troupe that demonstrates Elizabethan dances.
What did Elizabethan audiences do if they did not like a play?
When somebody didn't like the play or the actors they were very open about it - some threw rotten fruit but most just booed extremely loudly.

Why would a elizibethan audience would enjoy play with super natural characters in Macbeth?
Technically, Macbeth was never performed for an Elizabethan audience, as Queen Elizabeth died about three years before it was written. Audiences of that time, and indeed audiences of any time, enjoyed and enjoy plays with supernatural elements in them, witches included. Shakespeare wrote lots of plays with ghosts (Hamlet, Julius Caesar and Richard III as well as Macbeth), magicians (The Tempest), fairies (A Midsummer Night's Dream) as well as witches. And so did his contemporaries write plays with ghosts (Kyd's The Spanish Tragedy), magicians (Greene's Friar Bacon and Friar Bungay), and witches (Middleton's The Witch and Dekker and Rowley's Witch of Edmonton). Shakespeare did not put the Devil in any of his plays but others did (Marlowe's Doctor Faustus, The Birth of Merlin and Barnes's The Devil's Charter) Many of these plays were much more successful than Macbeth.
