Welcome to the Renaissance and the outrageous, crowd-pleasing musical farce, Something Rotten.  Lauded by audience members and critics alike, receiving several Best Musical nominations and hailed by Time Out New York as “the funniest musical comedy in at least 400 years”.

Set in the 90’s… the 1590s!  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 features large song and dance numbers, and a wacky cast of over-the-top characters, each given his or her own special moment in the show to shine.  Throughout its Broadway run, the musical received a show-stopping standing ovation from audiences… in the beginning of the first act!  It’s become clear that “nothing’s as amazing as a musical,” so don’t miss your chance to see this history-twisting tale!

“This is a big, brash meta-musical studiously fashioned in the mold of Monty Python’s Spamalot, The Producers and The Book of Mormon, loaded with crowd-pleasing showstoppers, deliciously puerile gags and an infectious love of the form it so playfully skewers.”  The Hollywood Reporter

“You could describe “Something Rotten!” as “Shakespeare in Love” meets “Spamalot”…With all its showmanship and silliness.”  amNY

“Chock full of show tune references, theatrical puns and Shakespeare quotes, the show is a field day for drama nerds.”  Star-Ledger

“”Something Rotten!”…is fresh and hysterical and irreverent. It’s easily the funniest thing to arrive on Broadway since “The Book of Mormon”…the song “A Musical,” in which the writers get to goof on such shows as “Rent,” ‘Pippin,” ‘Les Miserables,” ‘On the Town,” ‘Annie” and the Rockettes.”  Associated Press
