A love letter to musical theatre, Something Rotten is a hilarious, show-stopping comedy.
Described by Time Out New York as “the funniest musical comedy in centuries,” Something Rotten is a wildly entertaining musical praised by both audiences and critics. Set in the 1590s, brothers Nick and Nigel Bottom struggle to create a hit play while overshadowed by the famous Bard. When a soothsayer predicts the future of theatre will combine singing, dancing, and acting, the brothers aim to create the first musical.
Something Rotten celebrates and humorously mocks musical theatre, featuring extravagant characters, dazzling musical numbers, meta-humor, and a romantic subplot. With its captivating performances and hilarious moments, it shows that "nothing’s as amazing as a musical!”
