Something Rotten!

Set in the 1590’s, brothers Nick and Nigel Bottom are desperate to write a hit play but are stuck in the shadow of that Renaissance rock star known as “The Bard.” When a local soothsayer foretells that the future of theatre involves singing, dancing, and acting at the same time, Nick and Nigel set out to write the world’s very first musical. But amidst the scandalous excitement of opening night, the Bottom Brothers realize that reaching the top means being true to thine own self, and all that jazz.

Something Rotten! is a hilarious mash-up of history and musical theatre, where two struggling playwrights take on Shakespeare and accidentally invent an entirely new genre in the process. Packed with big laughs, larger-than-life characters, and more than a few tap dancing eggs, Something Rotten! is a celebration of ambition, creativity, and the chaos of the creative process.
