ABOUT THE SHOW...
Welcome to the Renaissance and the outrageous, crowd-pleasing musical farce, Something Rotten!
Created by Grammy Award-winning songwriter Wayne Kirkpatrick, and successful screenwriters Karey Kirkpatrick and John O’Farrell, Something Rotten! was lauded by audience members and critics alike, and hailed by Time Out New York as "the funniest musical comedy in at least 400 years."
Set in 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! opened on Broadway at the St. James Theatre on April 22, 2015, where it played for 708 performances. It was nominated for ten Tony® Awards, including Best Musical. Christian Borle won the 2015 Tony® for Best Actor in a Featured Role in a Musical for his performance as Shakespeare.
