About the Show

Something Rotten is a mash-up of 16th century Shakespeare and 21st century Broadway.” The story, set in 1595, follows two brothers desperate to write the next great play but who are often overshadowed by a local rockstar of the theatre named Shakespeare.  When a local soothsayer, Thomas Nostradamus (nephew to the Nostradamus) predicts that the future of theatre lies in singing, dancing and acting at the same time, the brothers get to work and stage Omelette, the Musical.  Needless to say, it doesn’t quite rival Hamlet, but how they get there and what they learn along the way make for a thoroughly entertaining albeit wacky journey.

Something Rotten features large song and dance numbers and unique characters who each have their own moment to shine. “Nothing’s as amazing as a musical” and this one is certainly far from being rotten!
